[LM_NET] Copyright Question, Showing movies on field trips

[Kathleen Cool <Kathleen.Cool@USM.EDU>]

Hello.  I have a copyright question.  My third graders are taking a field trip
to Monticello, Thomas Jeffersons home.  They asked me if they could show a
video on the bus since it will take them two hours to get there.  I told them
to be safe, they should show a video that somehow relates to the field trip;
that they shouldn't just pick some random movie to keep the kids busy.  And
that it had to be a movie that either the school owns or that someone else has
purchased, not a rented movie.  Is this good advice?  Should I tell them
anything else?  I always get confused when it comes to these types of issues.
Thanks!
