Assignment 4

I know this is a little late for assignment for but maybe someone is still working on it. Fair use is used a lot in education to allow teachers to show or make copies of certain works to share with their classes. When reading through copyright information for this assignment I read that this only applies to a student at a degree-granting institution. At high school this would be the diploma. So fair use does not apply to administrators or other teachers presenting at a professional development or at a board meeting since they are employees and not students. I never realized there was any difference, since in my mind I considered professional development to be an educational setting. I assumed that this would also be covered under fair use.
