I learned a lot about copyrights after reading the article. There was a lot of terms that I was not familiar with. For example, I didn't know the difference between fair use (US law) or fair dealing (Canadian law). Fair dealing is "use of works for purpose of private study, research, criticism, review or news reporting that is not considered to constitute infringement of copyright." Fair use is the term used in the US for "the same type of permissible use of copyrighted materials." Fair use is more flexible for educational purpose at this time. Teaching is not considered an example of fair dealing.
I think it is important to teach students how to create their own graphics. They will be able to use these skills in many other classes and learning things such as using cameras to capture images they want to use will be beneficial outside of school as well. However, I think it is still important to show students how to properly cite and use photos they find online. Citing is so important for students to learn because they use those skills all throughout their schooling.
