Copy+machines+with+hard+drives+and+scanners

 Copiers allow for quick and cost-effective way to distribute a large amount of paper documents in a short period of time. The main issue that comes into play, when photocopying material, is the improper distribution of copyrighted materials without the proper permission from the source. The person using a copier to distribute the copyrighted material, must make sure that he or she is doing so in accordance with the law. However, with more and more digital copiers being used versus the traditional xerox copier, people must also be aware that the image they want to use, is scanned and put into memory. People must be more aware of what information is being scanned and saved into memory. Is it personal tax documents, students' school information, credit card, etc? Is the copier being used in a closed setting or is it open to the public? Does the location of the copier have the higher potential for private information to be discovered and used by an unwanted source?

 * Description:﻿ **
 * ﻿ According to articles.directorym, there are two different types of copy machines. The first one is the an analog copy machine, which uses the xerox process to make copies. This is the traditional and 'easy to use' copy machine that most of use were introduced when the technology came out. The second type of a copy machine is digital copy machine. The digital copy machine not only makes copies (like the analog copy machine), but it can also be used as a printer, scanner and fax machine. Another aspect that the digital copier has versus the analog copier is that it can be connected to a network, so that for instance, a teacher could send something he or she needed to be printed or copied without leaving the classroom. The main difference between the traditional analog copier and the more modern digital copier is that a digital copier scans and stores the image, which allows it to be printed from memory. Whereas, an analog copier uses light and lens to make a copy. **

Photocopying materials that are copyrighted is against the law unless used for educational or non-profit purposes. The "Fair Use" Law outlines that teachers may make single copies of the following: a chapter from a book, an article from from a periodical or newspaper, a short story, short essay, or short poem, a chart, graph, diagram cartoon, or picture. Making multiple copies for students comes with specific rules. Each copy must include a notice of copyright. Poems can not be copied in multiples if they are longer than 250 words. One chart, diagram, drawing, cartoon or picture per book or periodical may be used for multiple copies. There should not be more than nine instances of multiple copying for one certain course. Materials such as work books and test books should not be copied multiple times. For students and teachers, the "Fair Use" act protects us to some degree for using the copying machine for educational purposes. It is our responsibility to understand the laws for multiple copying. The questions that arise are, are these rules followed in the school? How are they enforced? If funding is low in a certain school, is it ok to break these laws in order to make copies of workbooks and other materials for students? Should a student be held responsible for breaking these laws when photocopying?

 * Integrating this topic into Daily Instruction:**

This is when copy machines should be introduced to students and incorporated into instruction. Before these grades students did not really have a need to use copy machines or know the various uses. Here students should be told what they are if they have not seen what they are beforehand and each student should be given a turn copying something on a machine. Most students are not going to have access to a copy machine at home so the teacher should try and make it a job in their classroom where each week the student that has the job changes so that everyone gets a turn using the one at school. The various tasks could be copying the worksheet for that day’s activity or going to the copier to copy the homework for that night. This is also where the student should be introduced to the laws of copying materials so that when they get into high school and college and need to do presentations and might use copy machines for handouts and such they know the laws and do not get into trouble.

Grades 9-12

In these grades students should now have more access to a copy machine and be taught to use them. In the early grades of high school students are going to most likely have to do presentations and need handouts for their classmates. The teacher should show them multiple ways for making handouts. The students are going to know that they could print out multiple copies when they type up the handout but the teacher could also show them to use the copy machine. Many schools however do not always have access to multiple copy machines and it may be difficult. The teacher however should give the students a list of businesses that have copy machines and also find out for the students if their local library has one. In these grades students are also starting to write research papers and it could be very time consuming having to sit at a library reading the research books. Teachers can show students that they can copy pages out of the book and take the work home with them so they are not restricted to the library and have less to look at and research.
