Thing 23:Creative Commons

As a teacher, I will use creative commons for a number of things! I now know what all of those crazy little symbols at the bottom of webpages mean along with what is and is not okay to do with the information within them! I had seen this mentioned in the credits of the 23 things blog but never quite understood what it all meant.  In 3040 we had to do an assignment related to creative commons which really helped me to learn a lot and assisted me in creating a lesson of my own to use on the future in order to teach my students about this as well.  With things becoming so technology based and with poster boards becoming a thing of the past as power points and webquest becoming the new "it " thing, it is important that teachers and students alike learn how to properly use and cite sources so that we can all share and build upon each others ideas.
