TIES - Technology and intellectual property rights

After my TIES session last Tuesday on blogging administrators, I sat in on a presentation by Aimee Bissonette. Aimee is an attorney for Little Buffalo Law & Consulting and an expert on intellectual property issues, particularly for creative artists and entertainers. Her presentation, Law and Technology: Why Legal Limits Don’t Have to Limit Teaching Options, highlighted a number of copyright and other related issues for K-12 educators. Apparently Aimee struck a nerve with the folks in the room: she didn’t even get to finish her presentation because she was deluged with questions and scenarios. Good stuff!

The podcast of Aimee’s session is available on my TIES 2006 web page.
