1. What have you been told that you may have just discovered is incorrect?
In the past it seems like I have always been told to be very careful when dealing with copyright issues. It seems like I have even had a discussion about not wanting to get sued or getting in big trouble for using something "off-limits." I never really have had a good grasp on the topic, so I usually just avoided using things if they had a copyright. Many times, it ended up being a very nerve-wracking experience, and I probably missed out on a lot of neat material. The video and documents definitely helped me to relax a little when I am looking for new resources. I think the information learned will allow me to more confidently choose things to incorporate into my work at school.
2. What things had you believed about copyright that have now been challenged?
The main belief that was challenged for me was the fact that fair use is not something governed by federal law. I thought it was really interesting to find out that there are no "cut-and-dried rules." Something else was in the video when one of the men said that we can use copyright without paying someone or without permission if the benefit to society outweighed the cost of the copyright owner. I really did not think it was as broad of a topic; I thought there were many more detailed rules and regulations on it.
3. What new things do you think you will incorporate into your teaching practice now that you know the reality versus some myths?
I am not sure what specific tools I will incorporate, but I do know I will be much more open to searching for resources and not holding back because of fear of getting into trouble if I do something incorrectly. I think some videos or articles that I have skipped over before might have to be revisited now that I am more informed.
