What?
Most of what we find online in copyrighted material. That means that we need specific permission to use that material in such settings as our class website and projects that students complete.
So What?
It is important to model and expect appropriate, ethical and legal use of online materials to our students. They must learn to be responsible cyber citezens in our growing information age. We can potentially keep out of trouble as well as give them the confidence of contributing in a meaningful, ethical manner.
Now What?
As a teacher I will take even subtle evidence of plagiarism seriously and direct students to create their own content. I will also make sure that the manner in which my art students use online art images is legal and appropriate. I would like to form a class website for which student can contribute relevant links to online material. By linking to the information they can preserve it in the original fashion it was intended to be viewed.
