Dear teachers,

 We've put together a list of 10 sites where you can get resources completely free of charge, without having to worry about royalties.

Please save this list and let other teachers know.
The link is below.

We live in a time where everyone can easily publish any kind of material online. We also live in a time when it is very easy to take something from the internet and use it in your own creations. We all know that this is wonderful and a real help for teachers, but if it is not done within the boundaries set by the creators of those materials used, it comes with many potential headaches and problems.

Here is a short guide.
For many, understanding copyright is not entirely straightforward, and because of this, the tendency is to ignore the existence of copyright altogether. This is easy, especially since in the past, a lot of teaching has been done for classroom work (i.e. behind closed doors), with any infringement of copyright going unnoticed.
This short guide will give you a simple insight for surviving in the vast sea of copyright law. It will help take the stress out of your life when dealing with material found on the internet.

Important! When searching for material on the internet, there are two types of stamps (or codes) to look out for:
- CC0 - Stands for (C)Creative (C)Commons (0)Zero and means that the material is not copyrighted by the express decision of the creator(s). This means you can use it as you wish, even commercially, in your materials. CC0 materials are generally offered as such to the general public and can be reused, modified freely, without most restrictions (I say most, because there are still restrictions applied, for example: you can't take a picture from the internet with CC0 and then sell it exactly as it is, saying you own the copyright to it). Using CC0 resources, however, is the safest course of action.
- Public domain - This means that the material in question is no longer protected by copyright. It applies especially to older works. For example, after a certain period of time has passed (e.g. 70 years + the lifetime of the author), an asset moves into the public domain. Unfortunately, entering the Public Domain does not happen the same in all countries, so if you want to use assets in the Public Domain, make sure (triple check) if the asset is really in the Public Domain.
Frankly, it's no fun working with copyright on the internet, but to be on the safe side, the above minimum should be learned.
