How to apply what I have been learning

Last week in class one thing that stood out was the, "we didn't start the fire" video. Though this was interesting I could not see myself using or creating something like this in my class or with a class of mine. After reflecting on this video I realized that I needed to move my focus to think about something that we worked on in class that I could forsee myself using and enjoying with my students. Our discussion on copyright rules and fair use is one thing that I will/should use in my class. I just finished a unit on copyright laws and fair use and thought that some of the items shared in class would have enhanced my unit. Though some of the sites offered would need more exploration before setting the students free to explore on their own, they are a good start to help me best understand how to explain copyright protection to students. Even the video that my group watched would be good addition. Videos can always enhance the discussions that have begun or jump start a discussion if there is a struggle.
