June 1, 2009
What good is a free photo editor if you don’t know which images you can manipulate with it? With all this fancy-schmancy technology available to students for free, they also need to learn about copyright. At Teaching Copyright, they aim to show students how to legally take full advantage of the media available to students today.
Teaching Copyright has several lessons for students, covering copyright’s definition and history, fair use, mashups, public domain and file sharing. You’ll also find a battery of handouts, quizzes, worksheets, even a guide for a mock trial on fair use. At Teaching Copyright you’ll find lots of hands-on resources to make sure your students know what they can and can’t do with new media. -BILL FERRIS
