    I have always felt that teachers need to be very careful in what they copy.  The authors of the material we use deserve to be paid for what they have created, so we as teachers must not infringe on that.  I have learned that copyright laws are not as restrictive as I had thought, but I will still be very careful with what I copy and how I use it.  I will be sure to use materials found on Iowa AEA Online that are already approved to be copied for student use, and limit my use of resources from other internet sites.  As teachers we must be sure to teach our students about copyright laws and when it is acceptable to copy another's work.  This should not be a one time lesson, but it should be something we discuss with our classes whenever the opportunity presents itself.
