Did you know that when you create something you automatically own the full rights of your work and Copyright protects it from being anyway modified or used by others? Creative Commons CC, is an organization that provides free copyright licenses that tell people exactly which parts of your work can or cannot be used without having to personally come to you and ask for your permission to use it. "Creative Commons has refined the rules of Copyright".
The Creative Commons licenses allow students, teachers, dj's, writers, etc to learn and enhance their projects with the fair and appropriate use of your work. I personally abstain from using some work from others on the web such as images, audio and video to avoid skipping the copyright rules, but why not making better and more complete projects with the fair use and share of materials on the web? We can do this by going to the Creative Commons site and find answers with a language that is easily understandable to us.

Did you know about CC before this "thing"? Have you ever noticed the logo before? How do you think students could benefit from CC?
ReplyDeleteI was totally unaware of this site and how it worked. I think their idea is brilliant! Isn't it amazing how the internet has changed so many things?
ReplyDeleteI did not know about it before, it is amazing how we pass though things everyday which we do not notice because we just do not know! I agree that it is amazing how the Internet has revolutionized our lives completely!
