Teaching in a digital age provides us with opportunities to share or creative works, collaborating with one another, gaining new ideas and adapting them to suit your needs. Together, we can create amazing things! The Internet makes it possible to share our ideas on a global scale.
However, it is important to be aware of copyright laws. Remember, even the act inventing something (anything!) means that you own it. Copyright protects your work to ensure others do not use it without your permission. What would be most important to teach my students about copyright would be how to cite resources that are available to them. Therefore they learn what they are able to cite, how to cite it and in return, learn about the protection of their own ideas. Teaching students how to cite the right way is a skill that they can utilize throughout their school career, particularly into their post secondary education.
Happy citing everyone!
