Copyright and Creativity for Ethical Digital Citizens

-
Copyright and Creativity for Ethical Digital Citizens provides a variety of practical resources designed to help teach digital citizenship concepts.

It's our job as educators to teach and then reinforce to students the protections and limitations of fair use and copyright as they learn online, create online, and share online.




Check out free, easy-to-understand lessons and videos for Elementary, Middle School, and High School pages under the Resources tab. 

For your own learning, there's a Professional Development page. 💪




Lastly, check out the Copyright and Distance Learning page with a handy printable for teachers and administrators.

Maybe you'll display the printable in your library? 

Maybe you'll add it to your curated list of teacher/professional resources? 

Perhaps you'll share it with staff in a weekly update email or a quick staff meeting?

Make it more digestible by also providing quick tips for educators such as:
  • Cite and link the original work whenever and wherever possible.
  • Keep it local when you can. Limit access to enrolled students using a management system like Google Classroom, Moodle, Schoology. Use a YouTube Channel with videos listed as Unlisted. Or share via school email system. 
  • Yes, you can perform (e.g., playing a song or video, reading aloud from a book) or display (e.g., showing an image) copyrighted works in online learning in ways that are analogous to a face-to-face class. Just be sure to cite the work when appropriate and label for educational use only. 
  • Think small scale – you are providing for your library, your classroom, your school audience - not the entire Internet.
  • Of course, no profit of any kind should be made.
