I felt very assured through the copyright module. Much of what I covered with my students as a teacher fell into this module. Whether or not it was listened to and used was a different story!

Being in this technological age, it is more important than ever for us to teach copyright to our students. That's why I find the AEA online resources to be reassuring. I know I am looking at quality materials that have been through a vetting process, whereas with Google or Wikipedia, I'm not entirely sure what I'm getting or if it is original.

One thing I find happening all too often with teachers is that some are copying lessons, materials, etc. out of sample curriculums, and they are used and distributed amongst the building. They're getting what they need to use later without spending thousands of dollars to get there. I find it very disheartening! If we expect our students to respect copyright, we as educators must as well!

Something I'd like to do in the future is to, with other consultants, is prep a copyright unit for teachers to use, or for us to present in schools.
