I had never heard of CC before this lesson. I knew of the strict copyright laws, but not creative commons. I really like this idea and can see so many benefits to it. It is like when teachers plan together and throw out different ideas to come up with one GREAT idea. No one really remembers which part he/she played, but everyone wins...
I will also start looking for CC on more things as I browse the web or read my Google Reader.
I see so much happening in the world of education for this idea. Students and teachers can help each other when working on projects or assignments. Teachers/authors helping each other. This is a new and wonderful idea as far as I am concerned.
About Me
- ruth deVoll
- I have taught 24 years for Mesquite ISD and plan to retire after next year. I have always called myself "Leo, the Late Bloomer" because I did not start teaching or finish college until my children were well into elementary school. I have loved all my different jobs as a teacher and continue to love what I do each day. I feel I am making a difference!!!
It seems educators have been doing it for years (borrowing from others and adapting) but now we have a way to give credit!
