Copyright and creative commons - Lesson plans

600 - copyrights

Heide: Thanks for sharing this concise and informative resource. I've found most educators, myself included, struggle with knowing how to appropriately use copyrighted resources as well as those with Creative Commons licensing. This tool is a nice addition to any educator's digital literacy reference library!

Bobby: I was in the same boat as you. I certainly couldn't expect my students to 'do the right thing' if I had no clue what to do!

An excellent curriculum/resource page for teaching students about copyright. Covers history of copyright; quizzes to see what students know; the concept of fair us; issues with remixing, mashups, and file-sharing. Contains links to further resources.

On this website, Wesley Fryer gives some great definitions of copyright rules, including a mnemonic device to use with students to help them remember the basic principles of sharing media ("Harry Potter Can Fly"). There are also other good links and a video all on the theme of fair use and copyright.

This is a lesson plan from Common Sense Media that will help students in HS understand copyright a little more clearly. I have reviewed only a few of their lessons, and attended one workshop. They are relatively engaging.

This is a good website for educators as it includes links to articles, videos, and websites related to copyright and fair use policies.

Neat and fun website to teach kids about copyrights.
