Copyright Issues and Implications

Copyrighting has become a very large issue in the education world today. There are many laws and references to copyrighting in the world today, but especially in the technological world that we live in. I know that the scariest thing for me was that I have probably broken a few copyright laws and I think it is sad to think that I have stolen someones work. Teachers need to be aware of the copyright laws and not infringe upon them in their classroom. Through the use of valuable websites, that teach use about copyright laws, there should be enough information so that we do not break them consistently. The implications of copyright are dangerous to imagine. We could end up in a world that believes they are doing their own work, when in reality they may have simply stolen someones. It is important for educators to become informed about copyright so that they can teach the students in the most beneficial manner available.
