Copyright and plagiarism
Explain to students that it's now really easy o find information about all sorts of interesting things. However there are still rules about how you can share what you find.
Our eSmart team have developed a series of resources for teachers to implement within their classroom and to share with parents. These resources are designed for students in Foundation to Grade 4 and have been aligned to the Australian Curriculum using the digital literacy learning continuum.
Bundle 1: Digital and Media Literacy
Digital and media literacy are the knowledge and skills students need to: create, manage, communicate and investigate data, information and ideas; solve problems; and work collaboratively at school and in their lives beyond school.
