Copyright is still quite confusing to me.  I was surprised at how vague the laws and regulations are.  I appreciate how this course exposed me to this issue and how I as a teacher need to be aware of it.  Thankfully, the laws and regulations in place are really in favor to teachers and education and support classroom use.  I think copyright is a bigger issue for middle school and high school teachers when it comes to using technology in the classroom and using materials from the web.  This course taught me about the many resources offered by the Iowa AEA because our individual agencies have pooled their money so more resources are available to our public schools.  Now that I understand what rich options are available through AEA 267 and how to access them, I will use them and try to stay away from using the web.
