Hi Raul and Joe, In the States use of part of a work for certain purposes (and education is one of those purposes) would be covered by fair use [1] (fair dealings in Canada) although generally I think it is good manners to ask before you use something that someone else has created.
One of the nice things about Creative Commons [2] is that it allows the creator to specify use in advance, so that if your use is within their limits, you have permission. If your use is outside what they will permit, then you can always ask and negotiate with them. Much of what I do I designate as Share alike, Non-Commercial, Attribute Creative Commons just so that others may repurpose what I have done without needing to ask (friction reduction works well with the Internet). Of course, if you make use of an entire work, such as the dictionary, you would need permission of the copyright holder (fair use would not apply).
