Thing #23

While searching Google, I stumbled across PLCMC's Learning 2.0 blog displaying the list of the same "23 Things" similar to those used for APSU. So, APSU's "23 Things" modified some of the material from the blog. To use the material, APSU had to observe the copyright license provided by Creative Commons and follow the conditions of that copyright. The author of the blog allows sharing and distributing their work as long as attribution is given, you do not use for commercial purposes, and you do not alter their work. However, they allow a waiver of these conditions with the author's approval first.

I feel I will most definitely come across Creative Commons in the future as an educator. I will make sure to observe the copyright conditions of the materials I will use in my classroom. Everything from worksheets. pictures, and written works have Creative Commons copyrights, so as a teacher I must make sure I follow all of the terms and conditions to use such materials. Also, if I ever create my own work and wish to have a copyright, I can use Creative Commons. Finally, I will make sure my students understand the importance of following copyright conditions and Creative Commons is a simple way to show them how. Overall, I am glad I have learned about Creative Commons and will use it in the future.
