Copyright Issues

During last class period I felt I learned a lot about copyright laws. I think an interesting point is that there are so many specific details that qualify as copyright infringement. However, amongst all of the somewhat disappointing information I was happy to learn of the exceptions related to education. This was of primary interest to me seeing as how I will be teaching for my career. I plan on using these educational exceptions frequently in my teaching experience. As a teacher I believe there are many opportunities to use music and video as a way to add variety into my teaching. I think that utilizing technology in this way will be beneficial to my teaching and to the learning of my students.

Also, in a more personal way, I have learned that I should be more careful when working with media, or anything really, that I have or find or want to use because copyright laws cover a lot of different avenues. yikes!
