Giving Credit in a Digital World

Part of the Digital Literacies curriculum focuses on giving proper credit and using work responsibly. Our school uses OnCampus for our classroom websites, so I created a topic or folder filled with materials to help teach students about copyright, fair use, and responsibility.

A lot of the materials I used were from the Common Sense Media curriculum. They offer different lessons and materials for varying grade bands. I used materials from both the 3-5 grade band and the 6-8 grade band making adjustments as needed. 

Below are videos from Common Sense Media and the Media Education Foundation that were useful in helping students understand the tricky subject of copyright.
