Resources

• In partnership with Topics Education, Microsoft is sponsoring an education initiative that supports teachers’ needs for addressing digital citizenship and helping students understand how to handle and share digital content and respect for an author’s/student’s intentions for sharing creative work. Topics Education developed a comprehensive curriculum that provides educators with teaching resources, an experiential student curriculum and tools to teach students about creative rights. The content is well balanced in addressing a broad range of types of digitally delivered IP that students interact with on a daily basis.
  
  To view the curriculum, go to http://www.ipreducation.com/index.html. For more information, please contact Jennifer Maydole at (509) 782-0232 or email maydole@verizon.net.
