Thing 23 :)

Without creative commons there might not be a 23 thing, which give credit to:

                *Note: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006).

Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others. Content and style for Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers has been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License.

Creative commons making it easier for people to share their works and allows others to build upon these works, as long as they follow the set copyright. Which is great news for educators, look at sites like Flickr that allow anyone to use pictures (according to its copyright) which can help enhance lessons. I would be lying if I told you that I fully comprehend CC, I find it a little confusing, and it’s just something I need to learn more about. Especially as a future educator it’s important to understand the rules of copyright.
