In this module, we learned how to use technology in a safe, legal and ethical manner. First we learned the differences between digital immigrants and digital natives and where those teachers/students fall in the educational process. As others posted about the article and our "I wonder..." statements, we were able to comment and relate their postings to something familar within our own classrooms or lives.
As we progressed within ethical use of technology, we learned about copyright, plagarism, and fair use in education. Many of these laws seem like common sense, but surprisingly, educators don't abide by these laws. I have attached the Copyright Chart shared with us during this lesson as a tool/reference for future lessons with teachers and students on copyright and fair use.
We finished the lesson by exploring various sites to gather "Free to Use" images when having students complete a project. This was a great reminder of Creative Commons and how to search for images through CC rather than directly through a search site. Sample images and their respective CC marks are included within the PDF document below. I already used Google Advanced Search with 2nd-12th graders, so using Creative Commons when searching was a great reminder of using images that are free to be used, shared or modified.
