Purpose & Objectives California now requires schools receiving tech funding to educate students about copyright, fair use, and internet safety. Other states are likely to follow suit. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, leading experts on law and technology, have developed a targeted, engaging, balanced curriculum to help teachers and students explore their rights and responsibilities in the digital world. This presentation will introduce that curriculum and help teachers consider how it might be implemented in their classroom. Outline Participants will be asked to log onto a password-protected website containing the entire curriculum. Once online, the presenter will guide participants through the site, focusing on lesson plans and supplemental resources. Participants can expect to spend about 5 minutes examining each of the 5 lessons, and approximately 15 minutes exploring the 4 supplemental documents. We will leave 10 minutes for questions.
