Part 2

The copyright lessons that I have learned through this class and from Creative Commons will be priceless when creating my final media project for EMDTMS. In the past I haven't thought too much about copyright laws because I haven't published work of my own, and with my student's projects it hasn't been much of a concern because of the "use" of the material (educational purposes), and the amount of content used was minimal. Now I think about everything that I would like to use and when in doubt I will not use it. But, I am now an educated user and I am very aware of Fair Use practices and very thankful for the Creative Commons solutions with copyright and attributions guidelines. I am also very thankful for having had the time this month to explore the tutorials offered and to gain a deeper understanding of the applications that I already have. I now know which applications I do not want to use for my final media project and the ones that I do.
I will be preparing a lesson and collaborating with our Media Specialist for the upcoming school year to teach my students about copyright laws and fair use. They are never too young to learn to recognize and respect the work of others.
