I too was wondering what this class was going to have us doing in month 11. I am glad that we are looking at Copyright issues and laws as well as Fair Use and Creative Commons policies.  Having an edge on this information has helped me gained knowledge that will assist me when I am having these discussions with my learners on the high school level.  I hope that I will be able to persuade my learners to check the copyright status of music and videos before they opt to download media to their iPods and Mp3's.  High school students sometimes feel that they are above the law especially if they think that they can get away with doing something like downloading videos and music to CD's and giving them to their friends.  My goal this year is to show videos like those that Joe has shared with us in this class with the propensity of convincing them to do the research BEFORE they download and share.  I feel that the "Fair Use" and "Creative Commons" policies need to be taught on the secondary level beginning with Middle school aged learners.  I plan to share this with my supervisor and principal this year.
