Children are immeasurably
proficient in utilizing technology in their day-to-day lives. This medium is
both relevant and fun for children. It becomes our responsibility as adults
working with children to teach them to be safe and accountable when accessing resources on the Internet. One of
the main ways of doing this is to teach students about copyright.
Copyright gives ownership of ideas and materials to their
rightful owners. Much like Taylor Swift's open letter to Apple regarding streaming
of music, copyright serves to recognize and give respect to creators of
materials in order to prevent exploitation. When using more than 10% of someone
else's work, credit must be given to the original author.
It is crucial to teach students the importance of copyright
as it protects themselves, as well as other authors. Encouraging students to
create their own images creatively (taking photographs or creating images using
different mediums such as paints or computer software) is a hands-on approach to
teaching students about the processes of copyright. In addition requiring students to embed
images created by other, and meeting copyright procedures by properly citing
the photos could make for a rich cumulative project.
