Explanation:
Following fair use and copyright law is an essential part of digital citizenship. Just as rules and laws are essential to a physical community, respect for rules and order online are key components that keep us from succumbing to digital anarchy. Teaching students the proper etiquette for attribution, how to share under creative commons, and the impact of plagiarism, are as important as teaching students to follow road signs, school rules, and city ordinances. The underlying truth is that we want our students to be fair and to respect others’ work - online or otherwise. These conversations are just as important at school as they are at home.
It is highly recommended that you complete the webinar from Task 1 in addition to the teaching activity with your students.
Task 1:
This one is for the teacher! Check out this webinar from Common Sense Media (it’s only an hour) to refresh your knowledge of fair use! After you’ve finished, reflect (blog post, perhaps?) on 2-3 key areas that you can help your students do a better job of following fair use/copyright law OR think about how you might
