I feel this is a very important topic to cover with students. As the parent of a songwriter, I have learned a lot about the importance of copyright. Many students today do not realize they are illegally downloading materials from the internet, due to the software programs that make downloading media so fast and easy. They also don't realize the impact their online stealing has on the author of that material, because they are not immediately impacted by it. I plan on discussing this topic more with my students. I also plan on sharing with them the site that have royalty free music and images. These are great resources for them to use in their power point presentations and other multimedia assignments.
