Thing #10 -- CC = Creative Commons

Thing #10 -- CC = Creative Commons

I have not really been looking for the CC logo. My system seems to be on overload from all of the colors, music, pictures, podcast, etc. I will now be keeping my eyes open for it though.

I believe that CC will impact our students in a positive way. They will be able to use works from other people with their permission via CC. Also, they themselves without being charged may also lay claim to their own creations. Say of photos, templates, papers, podcast, etc.

I have been using digital images in my newsletters, emails, etc. But after seeing all that is out there on the web realize how limited I have been by using only those images I have purchased up to this point. I will now have more resources.

The materials that I create I have not shared on the web. I have accessed things made available to me from other sources though.

Some negatives can be just learning how to navigate the CC and use it. To make sure that you are very clear about the permissions you are giving others with the materials that you have created.

I do know that some photographers have built a career on that first award winning photo. So now people must decide what will be sought after and whether to place it in the CC or not.

Until next time.
