LEGAL ISSUES

Copyright & Fair Use

Copyright is a form of

intellectual property
that serves the creator
rights & protects
works.
Fair use is a section
of the copyright law
that tells what is
allowed to be copied
for face-to-face
classroom interaction.

Privacy & COPPA

You have the right to

PRIVACY!
The Childrens Online
Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA) ensures that
your personal
information is secure
on the Internet,
whether you are using
it or not.

Acceptable Use & Filtering Software

Its important for

everyone to use
technology in school
appropriately.
Filtering software helps
filter out unacceptable
Internet sites and
makes them
inaccessible to you.

ETHICAL ISSUES
Internet privacy
Academic dishonesty

Internet Privacy
Though you are

entitled to privacy on
the Internet, it is for
your safety only that
Internet activity is
monitored at school.
Internet use in school
is ONLY to be used for
appropriate academic
activities.

Academic Dishonesty
Plagiarism is a main

form of academic
dishonesty.
Definition: to steal
and pass off the ideas
or words of another as
ones own; use
anothers production
without crediting the
source (Merriam
Webster).

It is easy to detect

plagiarism with
antiplagiarism software.
A well-known software is
http://turnitin.com.
Software like this makes it
easy for me to see the
percentage of originality
in the submitted
assignment and where
the content originates
from.
