I read this as part of a state-wide book study with our DOE. It had a nice blend of pedagogy and mechanics. I had hoped for a few more specifics to help people navigate fair use and copyright. The 180 or so people in the discussions still had a lot of questions. The explanation about Creative Commons was very well done, and the emphasis on having students creating materials and producing their own copyrighted materials was a nice change from the usual gloom and doom associated with this topic. Unfortunately, there were still some who said they would continue to use TpT, Netflix, personal DVDs and Spotify accounts at school even though Gill gave better alternatives.
