Giving Credit

Why and when do we give credit for the work of others?

Giving credit when borrowing ideas or information is an important part of being a good digital citizen. Whether it's borrowing information from an essay by an important writer or an idea from a recent social media post, giving credit to the original author gives your work greater credibility and shows respect for the creator's work. Understanding when and why we give credit is an essential skill for all students to learn.
