In class this week, we discussed copyright and different resources educators can use to avoid copyrighted materials. I am still feeling overwhelmed by all these new technology terms, but I am feeling more confident when it comes to copyright, and understand the importance of it. Fair Dealing, The Public Domain, Creative Commons, Open Educational Resources and Reusable Multimedia all contribute to creating content free from copyright.

Fair Dealing allows sharing of a small portion of a copyrighted work without permission for the purposes of research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody.

The Public Domain is an alternate to copyright. Work comes into the public domain 75 years after it is created.

These resources are all useful to me as a student, educator and content creator.
