Copyright Implications for teachers

The copyright laws effect everyone, especially teachers. Teachers usually print things off of the internet or copy things from books and distribute them to their students. Teachers also allow students to use the internet to access information for a report. With the fair use policy in place, a teacher needs to be really careful about what she is doing and allowing her students to do. Certain things are acceptable, but not all. I know that when i teach i will most likely do what everyone else in my building does, but i think it's important that we're all careful and think about what, when, where, why we're using the copyrighted information. This is important because you never know what could happen.
