Copyright

Original work that is put onto the internet is protected by copyright laws in North America and many other countries around the world. Copyright notices are not required, the act of creating the source of work already enables the copyright. Therefore all information and media gathered from the internet is copyrighted and permission must be obtained to use it for personal use. Current students have access to the internet in their homes and at school which makes it easily accessible for them to download and use content from the internet for their school work and personal use on a daily basis. Teachers have to teach students what copyright is and how to properly cite their sources when using media from the internet. It is very important that students know how to cite their sources and refrain from plagiarism in their work.
