Thing 10
Creative Commons was something I never knew existed. I have seen the little “c” marks on products I have purchased before, but honestly didn’t know what all of the “rights” were. The videos on Creative Commons make so much sense. As an artist, I love to create work that is inspired by what I have seen others do, but am always nervous about which parts are considered “inspiration” and which are considered “copying”. My mind is much clearer now. As a teacher, and an artist, I can just look for the symbol and know excatly what my rights are with regards to sharing, changing, or duplicating. For my current 3rd graders, I think this will impact them more as they get older and have to do research on the internet. For myself as an educator, I look forward to using documents, videos, etc., in a more creative way in my classroom.
