What should a teacher do if they have only one copy of a software practice program for students?

Share it with other teachers
Make a backup copy for safety
Never copy the software since it is illegal
Use it only for advanced students

The correct answer is: Never copy the software since it is illegal

The appropriate action in this scenario involves acknowledging the legal and ethical implications tied to software usage. Intellectual property laws protect the rights of software creators, and making unauthorized copies of software is considered a violation of these laws. Therefore, using only the original version of the software not only aligns with legal standards but also upholds the integrity of educational practices. This ensures that the teacher respects the intellectual property rights of the software creators and avoids potential legal repercussions. In terms of the other choices provided, sharing the software among other teachers or making backup copies could hypothetically lead to illegal duplication, thus compromising legal responsibilities. Limiting the software's use to only advanced students may seem practical at a surface level but fails to address the underlying issue of licensing and copyright compliance. Maintaining adherence to legalities is paramount in any educational setting.
