Thing #23
Now that I know about Creative Commons, I think that I will be able to legally use pictures in my Power Points and on handouts for my students. It wasn't until this class that I realized that just copying and pasting a picture from Google was illegal. But with Creative Commons I can find pictures that I can use, and know exactly what the owner of that picture wants it to be used for. I think that I can also use creative commons in my classroom because I can teach my students to use it, so that they aren't learning that copying and pasting from Google is stealing when they are in college. Creative Commons is a great idea, and I really hope it catches on.

I agree Creative Commons has made knowing what we can and can not use much easier. I really think teaching children about Copyright Laws and Creative Commons at a young age will help them know what they can and can not do when it comes to using internet resources when they get older.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We tell them to research but don't give enough instruction on how to do it correctly. This should definitely be included in any learning research lesson.
