__Module Outline/Assignment:__
//**Part 1: What do you already know about copyright?**// (apprx 30 mins) Take this short quiz to see how much you already know about copyright and fair use as a teacher. Don't worry, no one will know your score but you. @http://www.csus.edu/indiv/p/peachj/edte230/copyright/quiz.htm. (Even if you get a question correct, you may want to click on the incorrect answer to see the explanation.)
 * Optional** For more information, feel free to refer to the chart outlining Copyright and Fair Use for teachers - @http://www.halldavidson.net/copyright_chart.pdf.

Read the article that focuses on the 9 elements of Digital Citizenship @http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/uploads/1stLL.pdf Then, read the ISTE article on how to teach the 9 elements to students. @http://www.digitalcitizenship.net/uploads/LL2008DCArt.pdf
 * //Part 2: What is it, why is it important, and how can I teach it?//** (apprx 40 mins)

After reading the two articles, begin thinking about how you could incorporate these elements into your mini-lesson that you will create in Part 5. Reflect on at least three of the nine elements of digital citizenship that are the most important to you, your students, and your PBL unit. Write a brief response to __**post on the discussion board**__ about the three elements that you select and why they are the most important to your instruction and to student learning.
 * //Part 3: Reflection//** //(3-4 paragraphs, apprx 30 mins)//

Watch the Common Sense Media intro video for teachers on respecting others' work. ** Click on the picture below to open the web page, then click on the Respecting Creative Work Parent/Teacher Intro Video. **
 * //Part 4: What teachers can do//** (apprx 10 mins)

Design a lesson, a mini-lesson, or revise a lesson that you have already written for your content in which you address responsible digital citizenship issues. For example, suppose your students are researching plants native to Maryland, but you are concerned about their knowledge of how to properly cite sources. At the beginning of class, you may conduct a mini-lesson during which you teach your students this skill. This portion of the lesson would be integrated into your content, not isolated.
 * //Part 5: Assignment//** //(apprx 2 hrs)//

Your lesson should, at a minimum, include
 * a synopsis of the purpose of the lesson and its relation to your MSPP unit
 * a content learning objective
 * a technology objective that addresses digital citizenship. Please reference the Link to MD Student Technology Literacy Standards
 * materials needed
 * level of student (grade, development)
 * at least one activity that demonstrates how you will incorporate elements of digital citizenship in your lesson
 * a formative assessment to determine student attainment of the digital citizenship element(s)

__This lesson should support the delivery of your MSPP (STEM) problem-based unit__. (It may or may not be a lesson included in your unit, but will prepare your students for your unit.) Your lesson should reflect your understanding of the incorporation of digital citizenship in the classroom. Please email this assignment to your instructional coach.
