My understanding of copyright has changed slightly with the completion of this self-paced course.  I still need to go back and review the copyright section.  Your description concerning use of copyrighted materials is correct.  I have always had an uneasy feeling when using copyrighted material.  After the copyright section it did appear that teachers have the opportunity to use materials for educational purposes, in appropriate pieces, and as part of a lesson.  The Digital Copyright Slider gave me insight into the time aspect of copyright.  Documents such as the Fair Use Checklist and the Fair Use Evaluator would be something to refer back on when needed.  I will need to use this course as a reference when working with copyright material. I will use AEA Online Resources much more frequently.  It appears that the AEA Resources have done some of the work for teachers and students.  Less Google and more AEA Online Resources.  I will have to keep a "closer" on student activity, especially in the use of video and music.  In the past athletes have made videos of their season that included music.  Probable to much to use properly. Before the school year starts, I need to revisit copyright. Copyright is a great topic to discuss at the start of the year and review as the year goes on.  I will use the AEA resources to discuss copyright and and review it periodically though out the year.  With practice and use, students will learn where best to get materials for use in the classroom.
