Senario

Francesca is a teacher at a less privileged, under resourced school. Because this school lacks resources Francesca  does not have access to technologies such as a SmartBoard. At high-end schools, teachers often scan materials onto smart boards and present it to their students. Though Francesca has access to a photocopy machine, she is afraid of making multiple copies of this material. However Francesca needs this material to properly educate her students. To comply with what she believes copyright law requires, Francecsa decides to transcribe this particular work onto a transparency to and then to display it on a projector for students to copy in their notes, even though it means making a special arrangement to borrow the projector.
