I honestly had not thought much about copyright in regards to what is done at school.  Most of my experience has been making copies of materials that are meant to be copied for classroom use and worksheets.  This part of the course was a real eye opener for me in regards to thinking about the future.  This course did provide great information to use when it comes time for my own classroom.  After taking the course, I don't feel intimidated by copyright, if anything, more empowered to use materials.  There's also the site (I can't think what it's exact name is right now) that makes it easier for people/teachers to gain permission to use copyrighted material, which is comforting.  I feel like the resources and materials available through the AEA site will be great resources to use and not have to worry so much about copyright.  If I would have older students in the future, I like to think that I would utilize and introduce the AEA materials that would be available for them for projects and research.  I would plan to always remind them of copyright before a project would begin so it would always be fresh in everyone's mind.
