Copyright is a complicated subject, but after this course I do have a little better understanding of what it entails. For the most part, I have followed most laws and have taught my students to do so, too.

I have tried to teach my 5th grade students to site where their pictures and information comes from. They often write “google” as the source, until I model how to find where the picture actually comes from. It would be very beneficial to show students how to find images from the AEA sources rather than a google search. Their research could also come from a site where a simple click will show them how to cite their source. Very easy for my students, and very easy for me!

Although I teach my students how to cite their pictures and information at the end of a slideshow or paper, I sometimes forget to do so myself. I add clipart to worksheets or letters home, not thinking much of the copyright laws being broken. Now that I have learned about the AEA’s “iClipart for Schools,” I will insert clipart legally.
