Creative Commons! Wow, I feel as if we have come full-circle. I feel that this course has been somewhat cyclical, seeing how one of our first live-text assignments was about creative commons and now the 23 things ends with it. Creative Commons is a way of protecting a persons intellectual creation. It allows the creator of work an amount of control over it while sharing with others. It also allows people to use it but ensures that its creator receives credit.
After an attempt to chase down the original creators of "the 23 things", I found what I believe to be its origin at
23 things.wetpaint. Here, I found the Creative Commons button indicating "non commercial/share alike".
This, according to the
Creative Commons site, means:
In the future, I will introduce creative commons to my students and the concept of intellectual property. I will encourage them to protect their work so that others may improve upon it or use it and ensure collaboration. Being a music teacher, this is a skill/tool that my students will surely be using soon.
