For my final project, I chose to create a lesson/assessment using some of the concepts we discussed in class. I personally found this class to be very interesting, due to the complexity of the ideas discussed. I enjoyed the diverging beliefs surrounding intellectual property, copyright and the Creative Commons licensing so much that I decided to integrate it into my class.
As a Spanish teacher in the Middle School, I don't always have the opportunity to engage my students in deeper thinking, but this assessment gave me the chance to do just that.
The unit planner format that follows is a condensed version of the entire unit that I have planned in Atlas. It simply features the one assessment that ties in directly with the copyright issues we discussed in class. However simple, I know that these ideas will continue to resonate in my students' heads for the duration of the year. It's a simple beginning, but I believe that it will begin to change the way my students think about taking images from Google Images and using them in their work.
