Digital Citizenship - Respect Intellectual Property

(from Educational Origami -- Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 2.5)

 

There is so much information out there, there are so many amazing materials to share and so many people have given their precious time for free. This facet of the digital citizen is to respect or honour Intellectual property. Honouring intellectual property is not hard and requires little more than common courtesy, like:

• Citing the source of images and information
• Giving credit when credit is due.
• Asking permission before you use them
• Linking to websites rather than downloading and reposting
• Sharing your own materials

Recommendation.

• I will request permission to use resources.
• I will suitably cite any and all use of websites, books, media etc.
• I will validate information.
• I will use and abide by the fair use rules.
