Week+14+PowerPoint,+Plans,+&+Agendas

Greetings All, While preparing my PPT slides, my eye caught a copyright notice on teacherscorner.net. Most teacher's sites offer a Creative Commons license that allows teachers to use materials for classroom purposes only. I didn't think about the copyright risks to using materials on an online forum like Wikis until today. I cite teacherscorner.net on every slide with a writing prompt and I have started to cite HOLT for slides where I use proofreading sentences. Anyway, I wrote to teacherscorner.net requesting permission to use their prompts for classroom & planning purposes only on a protected Wiki site. To ensure their prompts are not passed on through this Wiki, I've locked the site to anyone outside of our ELA team. This is a good lesson for all...different rules apply when using the work of others and posting it on the Internet. Life is so good!! Have a great week everyone!
