Before taking this course I was aware of Classroom Use and Fair Use policies when dealing with copyright issues.  However, I did learn a few more things and while copyright issues are not as restrictive as we think I still do have some concerns.  My biggest issue is when kids have to do research for a project and being able to use information from a credible source where they are not just copying what the web has to say.  After going through the copyright module and also learning of the many resources that Iowa AEA has to offer I think that I will be able to attack this issue a lot better.  I will be able to guide them to these resources that allow students to research topics such as Britannica Online, AEA Digital Library, and AP Images.  Then knowing what sources they used for research I will be able to go into this sites on my own to make sure students are doing their own work.  Also, I will be able to use these sources and pull items that I know are okay to use in the classroom.  Using these resources will give me peace of mind as I know they follow copyright law and as long as I am using them for educational purposes they can be very beneficial.
