Technology is used in the classroom on a daily basis but it is important for teachers and students alike to know the guidelines and laws when using information for educational purposes. Plagerism is a huge problem in the upper grade levels and students should be made aware that it will not be tolerated. It is the same as cheating or stealing.
Educational material usually comes with permission to use for educational purposes only and is not to be used for profit at all. Penalties, fines and or imprisonment are the punishments for not following copyright laws. Students should be taught how to site references and give credit where credit is due when using someone elses work in assignments.
