Maureen and All:

I'm glad this came up. If I show kids how to lift images off the Internet
and place them in their own Word documents in order to jazz them up, am I
breaking copyright laws? I have the students (jr. high) include the source
in their bibliography, but often there is no bib. being done. How do you
deal with this?
