Copyright

**Matters**  With increased access to digital content, it is essential that we use online material responsibly and respect the basics of copyright law. Teachers must strive to set a positive example for students and not violate this law inadvertently. Lessons in copyright promote an understanding of intellectual property through proper citation of sources. Students not only develop ethical decision-making skills through proper technology use but also gain knowledge necessary for success in the work force. Teaching and modeling a respect for copyright further supports the [|Digital Citizenship Standard 6] of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).
