In class we discussed copyright policies and how they pertain to us as educators and to our students.  We discussed that a copyright is the right the author has to completely control his/her work whether it is published or unpublished.  We discussed and saw a power point presentation on what is allowed for the Internet, information, photos, and other forms of media to be copied and used.  We also saw and discussed a slide on the Fair Use Policy.  The Fair Use Policy says: “You may use a portion of a copyrighted work in its original form-not changed- without the permission of the author if it is for the following purposes:  News Reporting and for Research and Education.”
