Copyright and Fair Use LR

There wasn't one particular question that really stuck out to me; however, there were a few questions that were similar that I have the most to say about. The questions about compiling different clips or music or whatever it was to use in a classroom for a lesson plan was prohibited. I disagree with that because I think those are very creative ideas that will keep students engaged. It is an entertaining tool that is not allowed. I think teachers should be able to use these tools but they must cite the source from which they compiled from. I also think they should be able to share their idea with other teachers because it just spreads the creativity. I do understand however, why it is prohibited to distribute such compilations but I don't like the rule. Anyway, that was the main idea from a few different questions that stuck out the most to me.
