Use your library. I'm willing to bet that there are several good books on Beavers in your library. Furthermore, I'm willing to bet there are several decent electronic resources linked to by your library. If not, use the Internet Public Library.
Don't teach the kid to think that Google = research.
Here, we depart. You may travel freely upon any public road. You may be a passenger, take a bus, ride a bike, crawl....all without hinderance.
Actually, no you can't. You will be ticketed if you ride a bike, walk, or crawl on any interstate in the nation.
This nation decided that automobiles are the way to travel long before I was born, and probably before you were born.
Oh, and Pig Hogger (who wrote: "Okay. Show me where in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution where car driving is deemed to be an inalienable right, and I'll buy you a beer"), I would like a Black and Tan:
I'm no Constitutional scholar, but the right to privacy is not enumerated in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, and the Supreme Court has upheld in numerous cases that it nonetheless exists. Just because automobiles did not exist in 1786, and the Framers didn't have the foresight to include the right to drive automobiles in the Bill of Rights doesn't mean that it does not exist.
This is not to say that I believe that there is such a "Natural Right," but in our society it is extremely unusual for someone to be denied a license. I think that the argument could easily be made that because of the construction of our cities and culture we do have the right to drive.
tens of thousands of people were removed, some apparently in error.
Oh no, the felons couldn't vote. Whatever shall we do? Jeebus, I think I know the case in question, and the "some apparently in error" were 2 people with repeatedly rejected appeals. Not pending appeals mind you, flat-out rejections for appeal -- though apparently the felons claimed that was unfair. this is not the sort of election hacking that worries me.
Didn't you read the portion that you copied where it said "tens of thousands of people were removed?" The point isn't that felons couldn't vote, the point is that they used inaccurate lists of felons to purge the voting voting records in Florida. These lists included people who had had their voting rights restored and those who had never been convicted of felonies. This is exactly the kind of election hacking that should worry us all.
Librarians have been fighting for open access to information for more than 100 years. One of the scariest provisions of the law is that librarians are not permitted to mention the FBI visit to anyone but their attorney, and so far Mr. Ashcroft has refused to tell Congress how many times it has been used. And, these searches can be conducted without court intervention. I think that's scary.
It will stop you when Disney sues your school district and they fire you.
It sounds to me like your uses fall within Fair Use, which for multimedia is generally interpreted as 10 minutes or 15%, whichever is less. (multimedia copyright info) TEACH allows you to use materials in the same way online that you always used them in a live classroom, but the materials must be password protected and protected from further copying (generally interpreted as streamed).
If you are interested in copyright, check out the University of Texas and Purdue which both have wonderful information about Copyright.
