Thing # 23

Creative Commons is a great way for teachers to share their own works but still being able to control how it is shared.  I had never heard of Creative Commons until this semester and I think that it would be a great thing for teachers to use for their own work and use to borrow other teachers' works.  An example I found on the Learning 2.0- 23Things for Teachers blog is the Creative Commons license at the bottom of the page that says "Some Rights Reserved."  This license shows that some of the information used was taken from another source so the license is shown at the bottom of the page.  Creative Commons can be used to teach students about copyright and it can be used to find and share information in a legal manner.
