Just because I can, doesn't make it right.

So I did a little research today, and the only colored illustrations of Alice in Wonderland by Sir John Tenniel (as far as I can tell) are from the Nursery Alice.  And, in the public domain.  It is so nice to find art to use on my blog page that I know is honest...

I will be honest, I have gotten in the habit of taking whatever images meet my purposes... for my daily schedule displayed in class, or for a classroom illustration of a concept.  Does this count as personal use?  Is this legal?  Am I pushing the boundaries of copyright law?  I need to do some further research, it is clear...

A good resource:  http://www.teachingcopyright.org/
And a great edublog post: http://theedublogger.com/2012/02/09/the-educators-guide-to-copyright-fair-use-and-creative-commons/
