With the whole world shifting online and classrooms moving into the cloud, it seems wise for us to take a moment to talk about what it means to be good digital citizens --  what it means to "recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and acting in ways that are safe, legal and ethical" (ISTE, 2016). 

The Harvard Law School Library has curated a fantastic list of sites that have multimedia content that’s legal to use. https://guides.library.harvard.edu/Finding_Images/finding_audio

A great place to start for creative commons media is: https://ccsearch.creativecommons.org/

The text for this presentation started as "Appendix A: Copyright, Creative Commons, and Fair Use" in Power Up: Making the Shift to 1:1 Teaching and Learning (Neebe & Roberts, 2015). The definition of digital citizenship comes from the ISTE Standards for Students (2016).
