How are you addressing copyright issues when using technology for teacher and student publishing? As a teacher I am continually concerned about copyright. I know that there is some usage in education but are we teaching our students to learn more about copyright issues?

As a K-5 teacher, I'm faced with the challenge of how to teach digital citizenship and responsibility with younger students. The problem is that children under the age of 13 are not technically allowed to have their own email accounts and therefore are supposedly excluded from participating on social networking sites. However, many of them, I find, do anyway! Isn't this the best time to be tallking about it? How should we address this? What kinds of discussions should we be having?
