15 March - Digital Story 2 (Copyright)

What?
The progression of copyright laws.  How the laws of copyright apply to the use of audio and video material in the classroom.

So What?
I made sure to take notes on the "Fair Use" laws and "Creative Commons".  The other rules and regulations were interesting to learn about but I didn't feel like they applied to my situation and there was really no way I would remember all the dates, rules, fines and potential prison times anyway.  I was very relieved to learn that sources would be available to me as a teacher through the Fair Use act.  A lot can be shared and learning enhanced through the Creative Commons and I would like to partake and give back.

Now What?
The digital story is an interesting way to utilize some of the great material that is available.  I hope to be able to get my message across and would like to use it in the future.  I wonder how many teachers are currently using this technology in their classrooms.  It would be awesome to create a digital story library so everyone could access each other's stories.
