I think it's important to remember the TEACH Act applies to distance learning courses. It was not intended to be an add-on standard in-person classrooms.

It is legal, under educational use, to display images in a classroom setting for teaching purposes. The TEACH act extends the definition of classroom setting to include course management systems like Blackboard, WebCT, etc. Because the images are considered individual works, I'd apply this law to the images and say that putting pictures from a book (only the pictures) into a Blackboard class module would be fine under the TEACH ACT in section 110: Educational Use." Putting text from the book would require a fair use analysis, and if it failed then permission would be required. Also, this analysis does not extend to emails. Sending the images via email to many parties would also require a fair use analysis, and 15 images would likely require permission. I hope this helps.
