Wk 2 Blog 4, Wimba Session 2 Reflection

As I reflect on the Wimba session, a few ideas you shared about copyright in regard to fair use come to mind. I was appreciative of how the ideas of fair use laws and how they apply in education. I have never been aware of what was allowed, or disallowed in the classroom under copyright law. The idea that a teacher can only use media in a classroom lesson if it is the only way to get a lesson across and even then can only use a small snippet, seems absurd. I really do hope sites like Creative Commons can begin to change this outdated form of copyright.
