Thing 23

The 23 Things Homepage Blog created by Dr. Wall includes an attribution at the bottom of the page for the 23rd thing that states that the blog is licensed by Creative Commons and some rights are reserved. I believe the use of Creative Commons can be used in many different facets. Teachers can use creative commons and licensing filters to find material that can be shared and used in the classroom. Using these filters and getting a license for work that the teacher wants to use in the classroom makes the use of such material legal and is great for helping teach students on copyrights and the proper use of copyrighted material. This lesson can help implement technology bu requiring discovery activities asking the students to explore the Creative Commons websites and sites that use licensing filters to find material that is appropriate to share and use, modify and even use in commercial ways.
