      Basically, this site condenses links to websites explaining all about what teachers can do without breaking any copyright laws, to websites with suggestions or ideas about how to teach students about copyrights, and the first site in the list is to images that are copyright free!

    This website is a wonderful resource for any teacher. It provides links to guide the teacher in fair use laws, suggests ways to teach about copyright laws, and provides a link to copyright-free images! It's really a one -stop-shop for everything copyright.

About - Creative Commons - 2 views

  • The idea of universal access to research, education, and culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.

    Great resource for those (like me) who had never heard of "creative Commons"

    Creative Commons develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation. (quoted from article)

      This is an interesting point because we've been drilled throughout high school and college to cite sources. 
  • The commons can be defined as those things we hold in common as a people. The National Park system is one example of the commons, so are the state parks.

  • ...5 more annotations...
  • These extensions mean, among other things, every generation fewer and fewer works will find their way into public domain. Public domain essentially means a work is no longer protected and anyone is free to use it.

  • A Creative Commons license doesn’t replace your copyright so much as let you decide what, if any rights you’re willing to let go of.
  • Quoting the non-legalese version is defined this way: This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in terms of what others can do with your works licensed under Attribution.
