Digital+Driver's+License

As an art teacher, digital citizenship will be an important element of my class. Building on others' creative works is common practice in the arts, so I need to know the legal limitations, and I need to be familiar with fair use guidelines. My students will most likely have questions about copyright laws, and I need to be able to answer them. For example, was Andy Warhol violating copyright laws with his famous Campbell's Soup prints? I have always wondered this, and it turns out that he was not because the Campbell's Soup label was a registered trademark as opposed to a copyrighted work. Also, at the time, Campbell's Soup company was happy to see their product getting so much attention. What I learned from all of this is that the best thing to do is just ask the artist for permission, and do your research.

The Digital Drivers License tests were supposed to be a way of gauging our knowledge about various elements of the digital world. I got a perfect score on the first few tests, but I missed three questions on the digital law section, which I believe to be the section that I will need to know the most about when I start teaching. I was really disappointed that the test did not tell me which questions I missed. If this is supposed to be a learning tool, then it would have been nice to see the correct answers.
