JEA Curriculum Highlight: Understanding Copyright and Creative Commons

One of the slides in the presentation helps students use an advanced Google image search to find photos available to use.

Looking for a lesson to get students to understand copyright and Creative Commons a bit better? The JEA Curriculum has one for you.

The lesson spans 3 days, during which time students will research copyright, fair use and various license types and will create an infographic to explains key concepts and guidelines.

The lesson includes a slideshow covering attribution of photos and images as well as a rubric covering copyright and fair use. Throughout the lesson, students will explore a variety of questions from “What is Creative Commons?” to  “How do you find ‘free to use’ images online?”
