I don’t think this is necessarily a link that I would provide for students to use. The
site is billed for educators, and I think I would provide this as a link under the instructor
section of the curriculum web. There’s a wealth of information on this site complete with
worksheets and quizzes.

My favorite part of this site was the comic book. I thought it gave a wonderful
perspective in the form of some kind of background reading, while remaining fun. It’s
much easier to get students to read a comic book, than a textbook or informative legal
document. Simply having students read this document (they can print it too under it’s
Creative Commons license) is the best way to incorporate it into the curriculum web.

This cite is probably the most legal and academic resource I found. It is also the most
current. I would not send students here to learn about what they can and can’t use in their
projects, but rather to see the direction that copyright is taking in the future based on
current events. I thought the “Fairly Used” blog was an awesome place for students to
get ideas about future and current Copyright legislation, the current issue being a recent
proposed settlement over a Google Book’s controversy. I don’t think that I would use
this with younger grades in a middles school setting. The level of material is certainly
geared towards older students, and possibly should only be used at the high school level.

I really thought that this site was useful. There is tons of good information from a\ncopyright FAQ, to sample letters asking for permission, and a multiple choice quiz. My\nfavorite part of the site was "the yearbook club." In this interactive section students are\nsupposed to pretend to be on their school's yearbook staff, faced with the tough decisions\nof what to include and what not to include. The situations were very realistic, and the\nexplanations were very through. It's an excellent resource for students who learn by\nexample.

I thought the student/teacher portion of the webpage entitled "Taking the Mystery out\nof Copyright". It had some nice interactive videos and flash animations that I thought\nprovided a nice view of copyright as a whole. The exact site that "Taking the Mystery\nout of Copyright" links to is from the Library of Congress, so it should be credible\ninformation as well. I think that students taking a particular interest in this subject would\nbe interested to look at the actual copyright legislation listed at the "Law and Policy"\nlink. I thought it was interesting to see just how many laws affect copyright laws.
