 * This quiz is great for checking copyright knowledge! My only hesitation with it is that it's technically for kids, so I wonder if teachers might feel a little insulted being asked to take it... you might consider creating your own assessment/quiz on the same topic (in Moodle) and use that as a self check instead.**

 * All good readings here! I know you are probably still in the brainstorming phase and plan to hone/narrow as your unit comes together, but I would recommend shooting for 3 (at most 4) readings that best address the learning goals for the session, and make the rest optional. Since there's a fair amount of overlap between some of them, there's no reason to ask participants to review the same general material in multiple places (in fact, they are more likely to read carefully and well if there are just a few articles listed, and more tempted to skim if there are lots of articles listed). If there are more than three readings that you absolutely love and want to include, another trick is to incorporate them into your activities somehow... for example, asking participants to review an article and then reflect on or do something in their own professional context.**
