Fair use

Hello,

                I am an K-6 educator in Southwestern PA. My question is about images on the internet. If a student is doing a PowerPoint presentation about spiders, and includes several pictures from several different web sites. Is this a copyright infringement?

                I know that downloading software, mp3's and video from the web would be a copyright infringement. There are even sites that protect their images from being copied. Obviously, copying an image from one of these sites would be illegal.

                Rather, I am talking about going to Google and searching for spiders, then images. Then coping that picture to an project. Whether it be a digital project or printed in a document.

Any enlightenment on this subject would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
