As a student, I've used MS Word for pretty much all projects that have required me to type out documents. Some of these projects included typing up research reports and writing English Language Arts essays. I always found MS Word the most easy to use and versatile word processor of the ones I've tried. I've also seen my teachers use MS Word to make quizzes and exams as well as to make study guides for the class to use for exam prep.
On the topic of copyrighting, I would be sure to educate my students about the consequences surrounding stealing others' work and would make sure that they understood how to properly cite quotes that they use for papers. I would also demand that my students create a bibliography and I would randomly audit students finding the quote that they used within the bibliography to make sure they were being honest. Also, if I created an educational system that I thought was innovative enough to pay the money for a copyright, I myself would copyright it so that it could not be stolen. I would encourage my students to do the same with what they create.
As for the issues discussed for Chapter 11, three that stuck out to me were cyberbullying, hacking and malware, and acceptable use. To deal with cyberbullying, I would tell students that if they are being cyberbullied, tell either me or another responsible adult and show them what has been said to the student online. I feel like the more a kid feels like they can go to an adult in school they trust and have confidence in, the more of a chance kids will report the cyberbullying that goes on online. As for hacking and malware, I would make sure that students changed their passwords for anything we were doing online very 90 days. To deal with acceptable use, I would make sure that my students were using computers at school that had controls on their internets to block inappropriate sites. I would also use a program to view the student's monitors at all time on my monitor, so that I could see if students are on sites they aren't supposed to be on.

You don't have to pay money for a copyright on your work. You have it automatically. You can check out the video I showed last week on Creative Commons and Copyright. It breaks it all down pretty succinctly.
