The first time I really notice anything about copyright was on the Learning 2.0 – 23 Things for Teachers: Thing 13 on web based application. At the bottom of the page was a photo source for the picture used at the top of the blog posting. Modeling myself after that, I went back to some of my first blogs and edited them to include a photo source and hyperlink with the images (from Google Images). It made me think about teaching the subject of copyright with students and the Creative Commons would be a great place to start. I like uses a lot of images and video in my PowerPoint’s and have never included source information about where I retrieved my images or videos, a practice I am working on to change. The most important thing I learned from watching “A Fair(y) Use Tale” is that it is okay to use short clips of video for educational purposes, just cite the source.
I found a great example of the creative commons license in action. All the way down at the bottom of Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers, a project I have been working on the last several weeks, it lists the credits this site used to create this project. As you can see from my picture ("Credits") above it talks about the creative commons license. The only thing missing, the cool little icon.
