**Pictures Copyright, Fair Use, & Education**

When it comes to using copyrighted images in a classroom PowerPoint presentation is more acceptable than making the presentation available online or putting the images on a website. Therefore, when determining the use of copyrighted work, consider who has access to it and for how long. Source: [|Purdue OWL]

The reproduction or incorporation of photographs and illustrations is more difficult to define with regard to fair use because fair use usually precludes the use of an entire work. Under these guidelines a photograph or illustration may be used in its entirety but:
 * 1)  **No more than 5 images** by an artist or photographer may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created by students and by educators for curriculum-based instruction; and
 * 2) When using photographs and illustrations from a published collective work **not more than 10% or 15 images, whichever is less**, may be reproduced or otherwise incorporated as part of an educational multimedia project created by students and by educators for curriculum-based instruction.

*CAUTION*

Curriculum developers should not rely on fair use when using copyrighted third-party images or texts to promote their materials. For promotional purposes, the permissions process is appropriate. In addition, if a teacher or a school has specifically agreed to a license, then (of course) its terms are likely to be binding—even if they impinge on what would otherwise be considered fair use. And, of course, illustrative material should be properly attributed wherever possible.
