In this chapter from Wes Fryer's book Playing With Media, he discusses the issues with copyright and it's place in the classroom. He starts off by talking about the different kinds of media that have a place with Copyright and Fair Use. These different medias are Homegrown, meaning you are the original owner, Public Domain, these are pieces of media that are published by someone but are free to be used by everyone, Creative Commons, which are available to use, as long as they are being used legally and finally Fair Use, which is when you can use copyrighted material under guidelines and certain criteria. This is why many things are available to be used by teachers, but not by students. Fryer also talks about how it's important for students to correctly site images and information they find, in order to be legal under Copyright and Fair Use.
As a teacher, I plan to make sure that my students understand the general ideas of Copyright and Fair Use. I also will make sure I inform them of the expectations when using information that is protected under Copyright and Fair Use. It would also be interesting to try and use real world experiences to inform students of the importance of correctly using Copyright and Fair Use guidelines. I would find it extremely important for students to completely understand how to correctly use other people's ideas and images without breaking any rules and acknowledging that those ideas and images belong to someone else.
I think the stronger/more relevant of your two options for helping students understand how to correctly use other people's intellectual property is to focus on "acknowledging that those ideas and images belong to someone else." It's sort of the golden rule applied to copyright...respect other people's intellectual property as you want yours to be respected.
