Academic Honesty
All students are expected to follow the Code of Conduct for Academic Honesty as outlined in the PB Middle Student Planner.
Represent yourself as a caring and principled citizen of the United States and of the world when assigning, exploring, researching, designing, creating, sharing, posting, communicating, online or in person. Always use integrity and cite sources or document when you use someone else's intellectual property at all times, in everything you do.
Copyright and Fair Use: It's the law!
Although rules for copying and using another persons work can vary throughout the world, in the United States, if you create, design, record, or author art, documents, ideas, poems, webpages, or music you are the owner of your "intellectual property." Others cannot use or copy your work without your permission.
I can use a photo from the internet on my poster, right?
No! Unless the author of a page is the owner of the photo, and gives you permission to use images, pictures, graphics, comics, etc. it is illegal to use them in your report. Always request permission before copying an image from the Internet OR use images from a website or application that has already requested permission and allows "fair use". Microsoft Clip Art has many free images you can use safely
I can use a great quote without having to make a bibliography every time, right?
