Creative Commons ABOUT: This YouTube video discusses what Creative Commons is. It mainly focuses on the use of other people's photos, but it does mention the sharing of other tools. They explain that Creative Commons allows a person to choose the copyright terms of their work. In turn, this can make it easier to share tools and possibly even create new pieces from those tools if it is allowed and credit is still given to the original creator.I think this video could really help educators who do not deal with Creative Commons often understand it better.

Copyright/Fair Use ABOUT: This video explains copyright laws and fair use through Disney characters. The history of copyright laws as well as the current length of how long a work is under copyright protection is also discussed. What fair use means is also explained in this video. It is a bit difficult to understand at some parts because it switches between characters so often, but I think this would be a great video to show to students and I appreciate the humor of copyright laws coming from Disney created characters.

Digital Citizenship ABOUT: This web site lists Nine Themes of Digital Citizenship which includes explanations of the following: digital access, digital commerce, digital communication, digital literacy, digital etiquette, digital law, digital rights & responsibilities, digital health & wellness, and digital security. This web site also discusses the concept of REPs (Respect yourself/respect others, Educate yourself/connect with others, and Protect yourself/protect others). Also, because of the concise and clear nature of this resource, I think it would be easy for students to understand. Finally, I chose this resource because there is a discussion going on about the web site through Diigo bookmarking and sticky notes which I found fascinating!
