***Media literacy quote of the day (thank you Sr. Rose Pacatte):
Is It Legal to Show Hollywood Movies?
It is only legal to show full-length feature films without a license
is during the school day, as part of the regular school curriculum.
You may not use films, without a license, in after school programs,
youth activities, retreats, catechetical programs, etc. You may obtain
a license from Christian Video Licensing at www.CVLI.com. Licenses are
available for one time use as well. The clips available from http://www.WingClips.com
, http://www.FilmClipsOnline.com (guides for Catholic schools and
catechetical programs are in preparation), are already licensed for
use. For more information about licensing visit http://www.mplc.com/aboutLaw.php
