Raise Awareness of Rules for Digital Properties

Raise Awareness of Rules for Digital Properties
Your students interact with music, movies, software and other digital content daily. Do they understand the rules surrounding the appropriate use of these digital properties, and why these issues are relevant? The Digital Citizenship and Creative Content curriculum is a turnkey instructional program made available for free through Microsoft sponsorship. It was designed to raise awareness and foster better understanding of the rights connected with creative content. The curriculum resources offer a comprehensive set of cross-curricular classroom activities that are divided into four thematic units. Each unit consists of 4 to 6 standalone yet complementary lesson plans that provide a variety of ways to engage students in the learning experience. The program was designed for grades 8–10, but easily adapts for use in grades 6–12. It aligns with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards for the 21st-Century Learner and covers subject areas that include civics, computer science, debate, fine arts, economics, government, journalism, language arts, drama and video production.
