Does your school district have a Copyright Policy?
In my class blog, I was reading the student handbook and did not find anything about copyright; however the technology handbook has a little blurb about it.  "Comply with trademark and copyright laws and all license agreements.  If you are unsure ask a teacher, network administrator, or principal."  I think this is pretty brief and general.  We do say something (non-written) to our teachers at the in-service before school about copyright laws.  We do not go into them to indepth, but we have never had any questions about them.

• Does that Copyright Policy need to be updated to reflect technology issues?
I don't know.  I feel it covers a lot by being brief and vague.  I do think we should cover more with students, but this is also something that is taught in some classes.  I guess as administrator it is something all kids get educated on every year.

• Does your school district follow copyright laws?
Yes

• What are your feelings about copyright laws?
I guess I dont have any feelings one way or the other.  I feel copyright laws are something we need to abide by and follow.
