That's why loading a webpage is called "published". If you copy other people's work and post it on your own or another site, that work is still copyrighted. You could be in a lot of trouble copying other peoples work in the wrong way even if you're a kid. For more information on copyrights, see this site: Copyright & Fair Use Laws.

Each notebook includes printouts, plus a computer disc with all the PowerPoints and original clipart for use in your classroom.
Feel free to rearrange or add a slide or take one or more out. That's the neat thing about PowerPoints.
In our classroom, we use a couple at a time to introduce that day's lesson, but of course, it's up to you.
