Teaching our students It is important to teach students starting at a young age about copyright, digital citizenship, and plagiarism. Here is a scenario you could open up with with students of all ages: To go on a field trip you need to get permission from parents using a permission slip. This is the same thing when using information from the Internet, books, videos, music, etc. Unless the author/owner has put it online for you to access. Then you must cite where it came from. Writing the name of the author, title of the works, date it was published, and the URL you got it from. That is just a basic start. There are videos and games the students can do on their own to learn about it as well.
