Intellectual Property

Teaching students to respect the intellectual property of others is an important component of digital/global citizenship. When students (or staff) are posting their work online and sharing beyond the classroom walls, having an understanding of copyright and fair use is an essential 21st century skill. To help teachers explicitly teach this important skill, Gail Desler, Digital ID co-curator and educator, has created A Guide to Creative Commons. With her "Unlock Media Literacy" website, Ms. Desler has curated a toolkit that clarifies their intellectual property rights and responsibilities.
