Intellectual property, copyright, and plagiarism are topics that both our teachers and students are talking about in the classroom. With the integration of information and communication technologies into the lives of our children, at school, and at home, discussions about copyright and plagiarism are critical to your child’s understanding as we learn about the importance of citing resources, downloading and copying text from the Internet.

The subject matter expert in your child’s school on intellectual property is your school librarian. Visit these resources and your school librarian to learn how you can support your child’s increased understanding on this topic.
