Copy and paste. CTRL + C, CTRL + V. One of the few simple actions I learned years ago that has saved my sanity when working on computers (which is basically all the time). But when the copy part also plays a role in copyRIGHT, one must think before she/he pastes. This week, I have been learning about copyright, fair use, licensing, etc. and it has made my head spin. Quite frankly, I did not enjoy it much to begin with. But, as I do with my fourth graders when they become frustrated, I reminded myself of the purpose. In working toward a Master's degree in educational technology, it just would not make sense for me to skip right over the legality of finding, using, and transforming online works - writings, images, ideas, videos, sound clips, and more. I had to put my time in and simply learn. After a dizzying dive into the depths of the internet, I give thanks to Creative Commons and Common Sense Media for their work on educating others, including me, about these topics. I have created a quick guide to help others like me in assessing what to do with copyrights. Now, check out the video I remixed (following newly learned copyright guidelines) to help other educators understand copyrights. References

I really like your copyright flowchart! It helps simplify the process to go through in order to follow copyright laws. Including the links in a plus.

Hey Justin! Thanks for your comment. I am a very visual learner, so flowcharts and graphics are my jam. I actually just introduced a research project on renewable energy during our science section and citing sources is a big topic they are reminded of daily! (Something new to them at this age...)
