I still have the Flat Stanley book I ordered from Scholastic book orders when I was in elementary school. He has been modified, but after 50 years many students love to read Flat Stanley books as well as participate in activities where they travel or take Flat Stanley on family vacations or around town. What a great way to excite students with reading! Author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Jeff Kinney on Twitter celebrates Flat Stanley's 50th Birthday while on his book promotion tour for his newest book, The Long Haul.
Copyright
As a part of Auburn University's Digital Citizenship website, I am focusing on two areas:
Copyright for Teachers and Copyright & Plagiarism for Students. Both of these website pages have excellent information to help clarify and better understand copyright. Both pages include excellent videos. The first video found in Copyright & Plagiarism for Students provides some parameters as to how much of a source can be used and how without violating copyright. The second video illustrates what plagiarism is, how it can be avoided and more. I encourage teachers to review these pages and consider incorporating the student information in lessons or projects that involve research or making multi-media presentations.
