All of them are extremely important—how to express thoughts orally and in writing, how to manage time, how to collaborate with others, and many other useful things. However, often we forget that students should also know how the law works. To be precise, they need to know about copyright law, how it’s related to plagiarism, how students should work with copyrighted works and protect their own writing from copyright infringement, and even the origins of copyright laws.

National Education Access Licence for Schools (NEALS) NEALS is a licence between State, Territory and the Commonwealth education departments, the Catholic and independent school sectors and any other parties who choose to become a party to NEALS. NEALS allows its parties to copy and communicate material from each other’s publications and websites for educational use within schools, free of charge. All State, Territory and the Commonwealth education departments have signed NEALS, as well as most of the catholic and independent school sectors. Material that is covered by a NEALS licence is not subject to the Part VB statutory licence scheme in the Copyright Act 1968 and therefore its use in not subject to the payment of statutory licence fees.
4 Ways to Teach Digital Citizenship with Adobe Spark Turning students into content creators gives them an opportunity to explore a range of transferrable skills. Students can collaborate as they brainstorm ideas, formulate a plan and create a movie, or they can work independently as they design a website to share a learning experience with the world. When supporting students as they create a product, whether it’s a movie, website or graphic design, there is an opportunity to teach digital citizenship skills. I love the Adobe Spark tools because they are free, easy to use, and work on devices with a web browser (like Chromebooks). There are also iOS apps for each of the Spark tools so students can use them as creators on iPhones and iPads.
