Thing 10: "Share, Remix, Reuse-- Legally"

This Video:
Copyright Clarity: How Fair Use Supports Digital Learning
View more presentations from Renee Hobbs. was a revelation! I am so glad it was shared on the 23 things site. I really did use to think that there is some sort of magic number of pages that you are allowed to copy as a teacher, or a certain number of minutes you were allowed to show of a video. I'm glad to know that Fair Use is more subtle than that and can be adjusted to fit various situations. Learning more about Creative Commons has been eye opening as well. I have heard the term and had a general idea of what it is about, but I had no idea about its origins. I am hoping that teaching my students about CC and having them use items that are CC in their presentations will allow my students to have access to the various mediums they need for their projects without breaking the law and putting themselves at risk for litigation.
