Thing #22, Copyright and Creative Commons

The laws on copyright are fairly difficult to understand, but students still need some knowledge of the subject. Even the comic book (from Duke University) is not especially easy. The site on Cyberethics for Kids has some good examples, written in language that students can understand. I would probably make use of that site, and keep coming back to the subject during the year in an effort to give students an awareness of this important (but neglected) topic.
