This cite is probably the most legal and academic resource I found. It is also the most
current. I would not send students here to learn about what they can and can’t use in their
projects, but rather to see the direction that copyright is taking in the future based on
current events. I thought the “Fairly Used” blog was an awesome place for students to
get ideas about future and current Copyright legislation, the current issue being a recent
proposed settlement over a Google Book’s controversy. I don’t think that I would use
this with younger grades in a middles school setting. The level of material is certainly
geared towards older students, and possibly should only be used at the high school level.

I thought the student/teacher portion of the webpage entitled "Taking the Mystery out\nof Copyright". It had some nice interactive videos and flash animations that I thought\nprovided a nice view of copyright as a whole. The exact site that "Taking the Mystery\nout of Copyright" links to is from the Library of Congress, so it should be credible\ninformation as well. I think that students taking a particular interest in this subject would\nbe interested to look at the actual copyright legislation listed at the "Law and Policy"\nlink. I thought it was interesting to see just how many laws affect copyright laws.
