[LM_NET] Target: Copyright question

[Windy Gamble <wgamble@SUWANNEE.K12.FL.US>]

The teachers in my school recently attended a writing workshop.  The
presenter suggested that teachers use magazine articles to model the
writing process.  My question is:  Is it a copyright issue to make a color
copy of the article from the magazine (ex:  Big Back Yard article) to use
in their classroom?  Our reading coaches want to go to Office Depot and
make a color copies of each article for each teacher in the grade level. 
In our case, that would be 20 copies per grade level of the same article. 
I subscribe to most of the magazines they are using, is there a different
copyright issue if I do not own the magazine they want to copy?

The presenter mentioned she had permission to use the articles from the
publishers but we would not need permission to use them.

Any clarification would be great.  I want to be sure we are following all
the guidelines.
