Additional Information:

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as using another person’s work, ideas, and facts as if they were your own without giving credit to the original source. It is okay to learn from other people, just make sure you give them credit. I will expand on how to do this at a later date.

Copyright Information

If something is created by somebody else, they have the rights to it and permission is needed to use their work. This can include pictures, music, or documents. Remember, just because it is on the internet doesn’t mean it’s public property.

Fair Use Policy 

Fair use is a very important aspect of copyright laws for teachers. In most instances, a teacher is able to use copyrighted information because it is not being sold for profit and is used as a resource to the classroom.
