These days you can find just about anything you're looking for on the internet.
But does that mean it's free for you to use?
No.
There are a few ways you can practice good digital citizenship by avoiding plagiarism and protecting the copyright of others:
*use your own words
*Make sure images are copyright free
*Use a citation to give credit to your sources
Example:

Activity #1
Using these AEA Resources, see if you can find a citation tool that helps you give credit to the author of the information:
(Sign in using your school's username and password, and then choose any topic. Next, somewhere on the page, look for a tool to use to create a citation to this source). **hint - look for "cite this source* or "APA" or "MLA" citation.

Activity #2
Either stay with the same website you chose above, or choose one of the others. Now, find a topic that is interesting to you. Take the time to read the article/information. On a Google Doc, summarize the information in 3-4 sentences. Then, use the citation tool provided to give credit to the source of your information.
Activity #3
Pick One:
1) Choose another article and repeat the activity from above. You will have a different citation since it's a different topic.
2) Spend some time exploring "Kids InfoBits" website since it is possibly a new resource to you. How could it be useful for research or learning new information?
