Thing #23 Creative Commons

Here are a couple of examples of attribution that show the Learning 2.0-23 Things for Teachers blog was based on someone else's work and modified from the original:

Note: 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).

Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things. That program is based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers, Technology Director at the Charlotte Mecklenburg County Public Library system, with the support and assitance of several staff. Helene's program was loosely based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006) and the website 43Things.

Now that I know about Creative Commons, I will use it in the future to determine if I can legally use something, exactly how much of the something that I can use, and in what manner it can legally be used. I will also make sure that I acknowledge copyrighted material. In addition, I will teach the ethical use of copyrighted material to my students. And one last thing-I might even use the cc licenses on original material that I create.
