This presentation highlights innovative, interactive and creative ways to teach copyright awareness to elementary students. Using digital photography, music recording and movie editing software students will create digital products based on books. Students contact the illustrators and authors to ask permission to use their work either before or after making the product. The correspondence is used to learn about copyright. Simultaneously students experience the creator's side of copyright as they are taken through a project where they are the creators of copyrighted cartoon characters. They will copyright protect and market their very own branded product.
