E-Safety

Here is a great link to visit in order to check out all the details about this "stuff!" It is totally worth checking out. It could save you from a trip to prison! @http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/copyright-internet.htm
 * What is it? **


 * Websites related to internet safety and/or copyright/fair use **

@http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2007/03/fairy-use-tale I would use this website as an attention grabber to introduce the topic of copyright and fair use. Kids love fairy tales, therefore kids will be much more likely to connect with this information regarding copyright than a youtube video.

@http://eclipse.pagecounty.k12.va.us/netsafety/kindergarten.htm I would use this the first time we go into the computer lab as a class. I will present this before we go into the lab so the students are not distracted with the computers. It is also a good idea to give the background knowledge as well before they start anything new!

@http://www.pearson.ch/HigherEducation/Anthropology/IntroductoryAnthropology/1471/9780321445315/What-Every-Student-Should.aspx Because many of my activities require my students to some research using the internet, I would go over this website before requiring any type of research to be done because this gives a lot of good information about why it is important to be careful when using the internet to do research!

@http://www.copyrightkids.org/ After discussing with my students what copyright and fair use it, I would use this website, specifically the copyright quiz feature on this page, to give my students a quiz on copyright rules. This way, I will know for sure whether or not my students understand the terms and conditions of copyright material.

http://www.loc.gov/teachers/copyrightmystery/#/copyright/ Like the first link posted on this page, this would also be another good website to show to kids in order to grab their attention regarding copyright and fair use rules. It is very animated and kid friendly!
