Copyright

Every year in our teacher tech camp we talk about copyright. One summer we did a whole session on the subject: mistake. It is such an important topic but very difficult to teach and pretty boring to listen to. So what to do? You have to do it. Teachers really do want to do the right thing. And it is our responsibility to help our students understand the importance of following copyright rules because no one else is telling them. A recent post at FreeTech4Teachers had an excellent video from Common Craft about copyright. It is simple and very clear about how copyright works and the use of Creative Commons. Definitely will refer teachers to this video and recommend they show it to their students. Follow this link to the Common Craft site for the video or go to the FreeTech4Teachers site.
