CopyRight In The Classroom

CopyRight in the classroom is an important point of discussion. CopyRights protect work that people have created from being taken and used by other people, for a magnitude of reasons. Above all taking someone's work and claiming it as your own is plagiarism and is punishable by expulsions and lawsuits. Fair use depends on how you use someone's work. Simply speaking, you cannot gain from using someone's work. Ideas can be put in a paper you wright but the ideas themselves must be referenced. Sharing material with your classroom for educational purposes is sheltered under fair use, with references to who's work it is.
