I feel a lot more relieved and confident about copyright after taking this course.  The course mentioned about how teachers often err too much on the side of safety which I know I have done before.  I think for now understanding "classroom use" gives me of an idea that I can use posters and other materials from the library that I used before because it applies to the classroom and in person.  

I also think because of the TEACH ACT I feel a lot more comfortable with on-line use with my students.  As long as I talk to my students about copyright warning and having passwords, I feel confident that I should not have a lot of issues with my students in terms of their on-line work.  

I used to always worry about making copies for students to use.  Now that I understand Fair Use, I do not have as many worries as I used to.  I understand now that if the purpose is for educational purposes that I have a good chance of validating its use because of Fair Use.  

I can always discuss with my administrators or librarians, but I feel a lot better than I used to.  I still may err on safety every now and then, but I won't worry about it as much now after having taken this class.
