10 March - Digital Stories 3

What?
This week we learned about Creative Commons, which is an online resource that provides a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.

So What?
Creative Commons means the world to teachers.  It opens up the door as far as utilizing and benefitting from the Internet without dealing with harsh copyright laws.  Accessibility, productivity, and development are all greatly increased by this helpful site.  You can choose from their different licenses, depending on which elements you want, and use then for things you produce.

Now What?
Creative Commons will be extremely helpful to me as a future teacher.  When I create something, or if I assign my future students to create something, this site allows that work to be protected.  This site will help me in the future because it provides its users with a simple, easy way to work within the boundaries of copyright laws.  The creators of Creative Commons have done all the work for you so you can be creative and safe.
