As a teacher with limited resources, printing classroom materials has been almost a daily chore. I definitely look at the the bottom of the page or elsewhere that I print to make sure I don’t violate the copyright. From this course, my understanding of copyright did not necessarily change, but was greatly enhanced into the digital arena. I will definitely use the Creative Commons website when I need permission to copy materials. The Fair Use Analytical Tool from the U of M with its questions will be useful as I use or copy digital media in the classroom.

As for the students, I will include a general copyright warning in my syllabus knowing about access to screenshots or screencasts, especially with the one-on-one computers we have now. The students need to have a lesson on copyright issues and public domain at the beginning of the year to understand the value of someone else’s (and possibly their own) works.
