Copyright and Fair Use LR

Question number 13 made me pretty happy. I feel like this is the essence and purpose of using technology in the classroom. One student's community was lucky enough to be able to have an actual holocaust survivor (or whatever it may be) in their community, and then have the amazing power to share that with virtually anyone in the world.

I think that sometimes in the world we live in, we get too wrapped up in the financial and business obligations that dominate our lives. Articles like this one make me feel like we still are in touch with ourselves, and we know that schools are here for the common good of everyone. If that means that educators get a V.I.P. pass to bypass certain copyright laws, I'm all for it.
