Wk2 - Wimba

This Wimba archive was an excellent review of the Week 1 readings and videos on Copyright issues. I still have some grey areas in my head, but I do understand the law as it is much better than I did in the past.  After watching the archive and thinking more about this, I believe that there are much needed changes needed for copyright law to catch up with technological innovations, but I also think that Creative Commons is on the right track for allowing creators more options for licensing creative works. I love using Creative Commons in my professional and my personal life, and it is something that I will be covering in great depth this year with my middle school students in computer class.  Near the end of the archive, it was mentioned that educators need to start creating the change they want to see and that they should be out speaking to lawmakers instead of just complaining. This is awesome advice, and it is something that I am feeling more of a call to do as my experience and expertise grows.
