The article Legal and Ethical Issues: Utilization of Instructional Media by David Hauf is about considering some legal issues when integrating technology in the classroom. This is an important factor to consider because the use of technology has allowed people to copy images, text, music and pictures. The Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines explains how a teacher or student would correctly use someone else's work in the classroom and in assignments. Copyright Laws are in place to protect the originality of a creator’s work, not to enhance the profits of corporations.
One of the major acts that addresses the use of technology in the classroom is The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Teachers who are highly qualified are required to have as much knowledge of the use of technology and there proper use in the classroom. There are also several other laws to consider when choosing to use someone else's work: FERPA (The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), which protects the privacy of student records. The Copyright Act of 1976, which allows an individual to change the copyrighted works.
