Thing #23 - Creative Commons

Creative commons is a great thing. It is a place where users can share content that other users are free to use, and vice versa. In fact, this whole 23 Things project is a modified version of someone else's idea. To prove this, at the bottom of The 23 Things page, this note is posted:

*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). 

If we, as teachers, did not have a way to find and use information, videos, graphics, etc., I don't know how we could be expected to teach. I will use creative commons often as a teacher. It is like that old saying goes, "sharing is caring". :) 

Take advantage of Creative Commons! Stay creative, but never be common. :)
