Copyrights

This is such a difficult subject to deal with. My moto has always been that if I see it, read, or hear it from someone or something else I give them credit. I have used a lot of clip art, books created online, quotes from others, and numerous other things. I always give them credit. If you remember that if it is not your orinigal idea and you give credit to the person then you should have no problem. Use your common sense, and your best judgement and you should not have a problem. I need to say more.... I dont know that i could say I have learned anything new in regards to copyrighting. I use this everyday in my work. I copy books, pages, etc for my students to color and take home. I always make sure that the website info is on the page they color, or the copyright info is also included in the books that my students have colored and read when they are sent home. i never want to use something that i do not have permission to use, or have not given proper credit to the creator. My school has never made any statement as to what we should or should do; however, i feel sure that the district would not be happy if we used something without permission and without proper credit given. I am also sure that this is something that is required of our teachers when doing projects.
