   I have been teaching for many years, and there have no doubt been concerns about copyright issues that have come into play from time to time. In the past, I worried more about if I could legally copy books, workbooks, and worksheets to use in my remedial reading classroom. The sections on Fair Use and Classroom Use was a good review for me, and am glad that educators are given legal rights to share materials for learning purposes - especially when given a small budget.
   Now there are more concerns about what I could/should copy from online resources. I have struggled most recently with clipart - some is free to copy and some not, and I get frustrated with time wasted trying to figure it out. I love how much faster I will be able to find relevant resources that I know are safe to copy on Iowa AEA online, including clipart (had never heard of iClipArt). I didn't know I had access to all these free, safe resources and am excited to start using them!
