Digital Citizenship Education - Microsoft

Create an awareness of the rights related to creative content.

Microsoft has released what they call a "turnkey instructional program" to develop student respect for creative rights. The audience is grade 8-10. Divided into 4 sections, students are asked to think about the rights of artists, and what implications these rights have for end-users. (Note: Registration is required to download.)

"Students interact with music, movies, software, and other digital content every day. Do they understand the rules that dictate the ethical use of these digital files, and do they understand why these issues are relevant?"
