COPPA requires websites collecting info from kids under 13 to have parental consent and clear privacy policies. If the site isn’t COPPA-compliant, the teacher could accidentally put students’ data at risk, possibly exposing it to third parties.

Fair use, under section 107 of the 1976 Copyright Act, allows for the use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes. For example, using a two-page excerpt from a three-hundred-page book is likely fair use, while taking two pages from a six-page publication may not be. It balances educational access with copyright protection, ensuring that educational use is possible without restricting access to information.

The TEACH Act introduced the Classroom Use Exemption, allowing copyrighted works to be performed and displayed if the copy is lawfully obtained, used for instructional purposes at a non-profit institution, and shown in a face-to-face setting. For instance, a professor can play an entire symphony in a music class but cannot broadcast it to students at home or distribute copies. This exemption covers all media types, including music and fine art, provided they meet the same criteria.

To ensure safe use, rely on public domain materials, which aren't protected by copyright. This includes works by federal government employees during their duties and those published before 1923. It's crucial to verify the copyright status of each work, as unpublished works created before 1923 are still protected for the author's life plus 70 years.
