I feel much better about my knowledge of fair use guidelines after yesterday's meeting. I was pleasantly surprised to find that students and teachers receive special consideration when using content for educational purposes. As long as we are using the material for a different purpose than the creator intended, we are pretty safe.
The TED video really got me thinking about how the world is changing and the amazing shifts it's already taken in regards to creation methods and rights. I'm glad our students' generation has access to so many tools to express their creativity and become creators. I hope to foster that expression in the lesson plans and unit I develop for this grant. I know it will benefit my ELA students to be exposed to various applications that they could then access in future situations.
