     Our copyright compliance team at school has been very informative over the years.   After reading the information provided by the online course, I feel less concerned that teachers might be abusing the copyright laws by simply starting our searches for ClipArt or book resources, lesson plans or kid-friendly information by beginning at the IOWA AEA ONLINE website.  I may even set my browser home page to IOWA AEA ONLINE now that I have the passwords saved in my computer!  Without the hours of practice and specific knowledge provided here, I was inept when it came to utilizing this valuable resource.
     Copyright law infringement will not concern me as much this year, knowing the right avenue to get through the internet begins with the IOWA AEA ONLINE site. I plan to share this resource with our families of young students.   In the past, i felt most of what is offered here was meant for upper elementary - high school students.  
     My biggest concern with YouTube videos, or clip art searches was the inappropriate content that could slip through the school's filter.  Now I can rest assured that these problems are going to be alleviated.  

SIDE NOTE COMMENT: I appreciated knowing the dollar/per student amount that just one resource, BOOKFLIX, would cost without the AEA support!  What a difference this would cost make to our families of our rural Iowa schools!  Thank you!
