It is important as educators to help students understand their right to use copyrighted material. I found it interesting, we can use all forms of media as long as we re-purpose it for an educational need. The video a Fair(y) Use Act which used all Walt Disney characters to tell the story of copy right was an exceptional example of the Fair Use Act, as well as, re-purposing.. This video followed the criteria by re purposing the existing material into something totally different and new. We also have to keep in mind the how many photos, songs, slides, etc versus the length of the finished product. The new or re- purposed material should be very apparent in the final product. Please remember to give credit where credit is due. Make sure a list of credits is listed for music, photos, pictures, videos, and written works.

Very good post! I really like how well you outline everything! I especially liked your emphasis on re-envisioning already made materials. I really think that's the most important thing to remember for most people.
