Copyright & Fair Use: have you asked permission?

              Copyright is when someone's work is marked as their own and grants them rights to their work. In copyrighting, you must ask permission to use the work if you are trying to use someone's work for something such as teaching a lesson. Fair-use is when work is not copyrighted and you are able to use the work freely without fearing trouble.
           Copyright is very monitored in today's schools. Copyright can be ranged from music in lessons being only for educational purposes or copies only being for one student at a time. Originally, I did not think that copyright had much to do with education and the classroom setting, I really only related it to movies, music and other media. Now I am more surprised and even aware that it goes into the classroom and is a serious matter. I feel like it is important to educate teachers, students and administration to be able to avoid it and know what is appropriate and what is not.
