Appendix

Copyright. As one significant component of understanding our rights and responsibilities as digital writers, exploring the concepts related to fair use and copyright -- as well as what it means to license work through a Creative Commons copyright -- will serve your students well as they continue to consume, remix, and produce their own digital compositions. One additional resource mentioned throughout the book, but that was not available when I first wrote the appendix as an article over a year ago is the "__Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education__" produced by the __Media Education Lab__, a site which I strongly encourage you to explore.

In what ways can we encourage students to be productive, ethical, and responsible digital citizens and writers?
