When you post things online you have to think about a lot of different things. Three things to think about are: Since we are thinking about sharing our work, this webquest will give you some insight into these three topics.
 * Are you keeping safe?
 * Are you being honest?
 * Are you being a good global citizen?

Learn a little about online safety and how it applies to posting things online. You will also explore ideas about what to do if you want to use someone's work and how to make an informed decision about what legal protections you put on your own online work.

What would you think if you saw a silly video about someone you respect? If an inappropriate video of that person was posted online would they be able to find a good job, run for political office or be taken seriously if someone posted something embarrassing online? What impression will a future employer have of you if you post something of poor quality with bad grammar or incorrect spelling online?
 * Watch the following video from Common Craft @http://www.commoncraft.com/protecting-reputations-video. Think about what could happen if you are not careful about what gets posted online.


 * Common Sense also has a video about being a good digital citizen: @http://www.schooltube.com/video/b5280e285d4c31e87aff/Digital-Citizen-Videos.


 * Visit School Tube, @http://www.schooltube.com/video/7c55fe4d89a8475d871f/Copyright-Perspectives. What could happen if you don’t tell your teacher (or your future boss) where you got the information you used from another source? Can you think of something in your webquest that you might want to add a reference for?


 * Visit @http://www.schooltube.com/video/d9438d516a87df2ba428/What-is-Creative-Commons-Wanna-Work-Together-RG-Remix and consider why you would want to tell other people the kind of protections you want on your creative works.


 * @http://www.schooltube.com/video/b8a230caaf507909534b/A-Shared-Culture will help you to learn about Creative Commons. If you don’t see a Creative Commons license on pictures, videos, music or any creative project online you have to assume that it has full copyright protection and you will have to ask permission to use it.

After watching the videos, you should have an idea about what you want to post online and how to protect yourself and tell people about your wishes for sharing your creative works. Post a reflection on what you have learned about protecting yourself online, copyright protection and sharing your work.
