In the slides themselves, you've got a preview slide and signpost slides with the information paired with explanations. The speaker notes indicated triggers for your presentation of the information.

The interactive game gets the kids thinking about what's required when they return to class with the understanding of copyright.The conversations in your library as students choose images will be interesting as they share how they know their chosen music and images are "fair use." Well done!
