Remember, students can generally use three minutes or ten percent of a video (or "motion media") as part of a student project. Certain limitations apply. Here's a thumbnail sketch of fair use hosted by the College of Charleston. And, the chart covers other media as well.

And, the school has public performance rights for the videos that we own. Here's the details and the American Library Association's take on whole video use. You can scroll down to the "Classroom Use" section if you want.

Possible uses:
Instruction: Use to present, clarify, or review a challenging/uninteresting content

Formative Assessments: Use to see where students are in the learning process--Do they understand?

Project-based Learning/Summative Assessment: Use as a medium for students to demonstrate understanding

Eliciting higher level thinking skills:
