SOPA & PIPA

For those of us who are web dependent you have probably heard about SOPA & PIPA, but have your students?  DO they know what it is and what it means?  Or do they just think its cool that Google and Wikipedia have blacked out?  

So how to educate students on PIPA & SOPA?  Well Google has a great visual on its SOPA & PIPA page that you can connect to here. The Wikipedia article is probably written just a bit better for a Middle or High School Student to really comprehend.  Google's article although short and sweet doesn't answer the questions as well as the Wiki article though.  Because pictures tell a story better than words I will show this video That Kirby1 posted on his youtube channel.  I am certain that this will bring up some heated discussion especially with 8th graders, I wonder though whose side they will be on?
