Introduction: C3 Part II: Intellectual Property, Copyright, Fair Use & TEACH Act; Curriculum
Cybersafety: What Educators Need to Know
Cybersecurity: The Forgotten Element

The last session we discussed cyber-plagiarism. Most of you noted that plagiarism is closely connected to Fair Use, Intellectual Property Rights and Fair Use. As Pfaff-Harris (2004) states, "The WorldWide Web is filled with resources for teaching and learning English, as well as for finding those resources. Much of this information is in the Public Domain, and may be copied freely. Unfortunately, the line between Copyright and Plagiarism issues is often loosely defined, and many teachers and students are unsure of the limits." This session will explore some of these issues as related to the educational arena. We will then explore some of the current curricula available for parents and teachers related to C3 — especially cybersafety. We will also explore more about Cybersecurity: the topic rarely covered in the K-12 arena.
