219:30:30 Drew -> how do we teach these to teachers?
219:32:04 Lee Baber -> Our county had some big copyright issues this past month on videos being shown in class but not for educational use
219:32:33 sroseman -> schools are strict on videos and copyright
219:32:39 cheryloakes -> I agree, roll it into other things, and post little blurbs in newsletters or daily announcements.
219:33:07 Drew -> I've gotten the best responses in these 'contextual' discussions, too
219:33:08 JenniferW -> @cheryloakes -- my sound quality dropped off too when I left iTunes

219:34:42 sharonp -> are copyright laws different in Canada? Where can we find info about that? Do you know Dave?
219:34:47 JohnSchinker -> That's part of the problem, Sharon. Many people go to the extreme of not using anything because it might be considered by someone to be a violation.
219:34:47 Lee Baber -> http://youthwiki.wikispaces.com is using voicethread for each school
219:35:01 Lee Baber -> its working great for intros

219:52:18 sharonp -> Safari is supposed to be better in Leopard - we shall see
