One of the first ways that my view of copyright has changed is that, in the classroom setting, there is a great deal of "leeway" that is given to educators for the purpose of educating students.  However, it isn't limitless.  One of the biggest things I think of is the numerous amounts of times students have turned in work, i.e. power points or other projects that now thinking back was clearly using copyrighted material.  

Having taken this self paced course and several others that all address the issues of copyright and fair usage, I plan to expose students to resources such as iclipart and soundzabound and the AP site so as to help students make good choices and what is and isn't okay to use in their submissions.

I need to take a closer look at how I use video and what I post to students in regards to reading materials that I have picked up and borrowed over the 15 years I have been in education.  Amongst what I include in my lecture notes and power points and whether I am using copyrighted materials that fair usage isn't applying etc.
