The internet and all our recording technology make it so easy to steal someone's intellectual and creative work.Those who create, publish, edit and illustrate deserve to reap the benefits of their work. It is a great relief to me to know that AEA Online resources are usable and quotable for classroom use. Copyright laws prevented me from using some good resources in the past because I didn't buy a copy of, say, a DVD or video. Having access to AEA sites will help my curriculum and delivery be more up-to-date. The copyright module has helped me learn more, and be more confident in helping students stay compliant with those laws.
When I sub, students are often researching and creating audio/visual projects explaining events or concepts. They are unmindful of using another's work, and often go outside the recommended sites to get music, pictures, graphics or video. I will be glad to be more knowledgeable about GWAEA Online resources and be able to help students find them, rather than being somewhat complicit in their improper use.
