• Welcome | Teaching Copyright

  There's a lot of misinformation out there about legal rights and responsibilities in the digital era.
  
  This is especially disconcerting when it comes to information being shared with youth. Kids and teens are bombarded with messages from a myriad of sources that using new technology is high-risk behavior. Downloading music is compared to stealing a bicycle — even though many downloads are lawful. Making videos using short clips from other sources is treated as probably illegal — even though many such videos are also lawful.

• Why Our Current Education System Is Failing

  “Education is about unleashing one’s confidence. Education is learning from failure. Education is growing from experience. Education is discovering your passions then pursuing them.
  
  Education is not rote memorization. Education is not analyzing books that have no meaning to you. Education is not wasting your time on subjects you hate. Education is not being paralyzed because your afraid to fail.”

• Great Source iwrite - Students: Grammar Handbook

  
  
  Grammar Handbook
  
  How to Edit your writing
  
  To edit your writing well, you need to understand some basic concepts about writing. Sometimes these concepts are called grammar, mechanics, or conventions. Sometimes they are called rules, but really these rules are just patterns that good writers try to follow so they clearly communicate what they want to say to readers.
  
  Anybody can be a good editor. First, you have to know what's important and then you have to reread your work carefully. Everyone—especially teachers—appreciate a writer who rereads and corrects his or her work.
