Thing #8 Creative Commons

Although I had not noticed the CC logo on pages I have visited, I believe it can have a great impact on education. Teachers and students both can search for resources without having to choose whether to use them or not due to copyright infringement. It's putting more tools in our toolbox.

I use digital images, audio, and video in my teaching. But, it is usually my work that I own. I share photos online on a regular basis. The web is a convenient way to share my photography hobby with family and friends.

CC is new to me. I have already found some things I can use in my classroom. I found a list of ESL Read Aloud books in one spot. It's nice to have a list to pull from at my fingertips.

I like the idea of "share, remix, and reuse." I look forward to learning more about CC.

    If you are a fan of photography, you will LOVE the next thing (and may already know about it) - Flickr, a photo sharing site, that features photos with Creative Commons licensing. I use it exclusively when creating staff development presentations.

    Teachers should have invented cc! We are so good at borrowing and adapting to fit our students.
