As high school students transition from consumers of information to creators of multimedia projects, understanding copyright, fair use, and citation issues is critical for educators and students. Students must be aware of the complexities of using online information, including text, images, audio, and video. Teachers require high-quality materials to support the teaching of information literacy, especially using resources ethically and responsibly. This content package is intended for educators to easily find lessons, eBooks, videos, articles, and other resources to support the teaching of using various content ethically and to help students understand their responsibility as creators to cite others' work.

According to Common Sense Education, information literacy "includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively. From effective search strategies to evaluation techniques, students learn how to evaluate the quality, credibility, and validity of websites [and other resources], and give proper credit."The materials you will find in this package were selected to support the standards, benchmarks, and indicators for Ohio's Library Guidelines for Librarians, Ohio's Library Guidelines for Learners, and Ohio's Learning Standards for English Language Arts.

This guide offers teacher actions and resources to give students more frequent opportunities to be respondible for "doing the thinking" that can help build motivation in school.
