Detailed explanation-1: -Materials on the internet are treated the same under copyright law as any other copyright materials, so if you want to use them, you have to either fall within one of the Act’s exceptions (such as fair dealing) or have permission from the copyright owner.
Detailed explanation-2: -The rule is simple: You cannot just pull any picture from your internet search and use it in your branding strategy. Every piece of content (published and unpublished) gains copyright as soon as it is created. This means that any image you come across on the World Wide Web may be backed by copyright laws.
Detailed explanation-3: -Yes you can, as long as the images are used for educational purposes only and the use qualifies as being ‘fair’. The how and why of this can be determined by the type of user you are for this type of educational use (student, staff, author).
Detailed explanation-4: -Your use of a few copyrighted images from a Google search as part of a classroom presentation would fall under fair use in education. It is good practice to attribute the image in some way such as include a small URL below the image to the source or include a slide with “credits” at the end.
