Creative Commons: Thing Twenty-Three

For Thing Twenty-Three we are asked to explore the Creative Commons and explain how it is important to a teacher.

I have learned in my Instructional Technology class that it is very important to pay attention to all the works and pictures you present or display to your students. Whenever sharing a picture or some type of information, one should always properly cite or give credit to the author of that work. 

Also, I learned that it is important to always be a model to your students. If you are very careful and use only Creative Commons information or imagery than your students will look at that as an example of what he or she should do when presenting or citing their own information.

We also learned in my course how to put together a paper explaining Creative Commons and its importance that is readable to the grade level we are teaching.

I learned quite a bit from this activity and now know how important it is to pay attention to all resources you find relevant to your subject matter.
