Copyrighted Material in the Classroom

The use of copyrighten material in the class is a complex issue. There is no one right or wrong answer in my eyes. But, in this day and age you want to be careful of what you use and how you use it. For me it became a little clearer when I looked the chart that listed the different types of texts. If you use just a portion in a lesson plan then it is Ok, but if you make several copies of almost the entire book to avoid buying it that is not Ok. I think it is a touchy subject and we all have to pay attention to what materials we use in our classrooms.
