Copyright

Copyright laws have always been a huge concern especially with teachers and college students. In all honesty, I very rarely think about something I find on the internet to be copyrighted but little did I know anything on the internet is copyright protected. I was under the assumption that to an extent, we could use anything we find online. I have always sited my sources for pictures or a website I might have used to write a paper, but it never occurred to me that I need to do the same thing for anything I use to write my lesson plans ; it is technically stealing someones idea! Luckily, as teachers we are exempt under fair use. These references are great resources to use if you are unsure about breaking copyright rules.
