Thanks to the fair use conditions, teachers can use copyrighted materials for educational purposes under certain restrictions. This allows teachers to provide a wider range of learning opportunites for their students, but also poses some challenges. With the growing amount of internet resources available, teachers have a higher risk of using someone else's work without giving them the credit they deserve.
I hope to avoid breaking copyright laws because I want my students to be able to look to me and see a trustworthy rolemodel, worthy of respect. As a Christian educator, I have been called to a higher standard and need to have integrity when it comes to legal and moral issues like copyright laws. I cannot expect that my students will not cheat or steal information if I am not obeying these laws myself. If I hold my students to the same high standards that I hold myself to, then they will be more likely to follow the rules set before them.
