Here is a copy of the copyright quiz I made for my colleagues:

Copyright and Fair Use Quiz
True or false:
_____1. We can purchase a video and show it to the kids during rainy day recess without breaking the copyright law.
_____2. I can use movie clips in my classroom to teach a lesson on grammar .

_____7. Internet pages are automatically copyrighted.
_____8. I can use copyrighted images I got from an online source in a research report.
_____9. "Seinfeld" has an episode on personal hygiene that a health teacher tapes and uses the following week in class. The local television station denies permission when asked and states this is a violation of copyright law. They are correct.

I will run off a copy of the quiz and put it in the lounge, but I already know that no one will do well on it, as I had occasion to ask everyone about copyright issues a few weeks ago to answer a question I had about something I wanted to add to a website and not one single staff member was able to answer me.  Everyone said they "didn't have a clue" when it comes to copyright issues.  I will post the results from the quiz if I can get anyone to take it. 

***Update:  Just as I thought, the few folks that took it BOMBED it.  I think this whole thing is difficult to understand and just hope I haven't broken any of the copyright laws myself....
