Thing #23 (Creative Commons)

On the home page Dr. Wall give credit to the author for the information that was used by stating this: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006).

I was unaware of copyright laws for using information on the internet before I started taking this class. I always thought if it was posted on the internet you can use the information in anyway you wanted. I am aware now of the copyright laws and will abide by them. I do like how Creative Commons licensing will allow us as educators to use information as long as we credit the original source or author. I will use information that I feel will best suit my students to learn the material. With Creative Commons I am able to re-work different materials to fit my needs as an educator as long as I credit the source that has given permission to share their information.
