STLP students set the standard and model for the rest of the building.
When STLP students are producing products: video, digital art, digital music, writing or any multimedia, all copyright rules need to be followed.
Better to create an original work, but when using others' work in those products, site the source and stay within copyright regulations.
Research and learn more about copyright.
Some suggested first readings:
Copyright for Schools, A Practical Guide by Carol Sampson, 3rd ed. Linworth Pub, 2001.
Copyright Crash Course
Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia Established by Congress of the United States
