Thing #10 Creative Commons

In all honesty I have never noticed the Creative Commons logo on a website. Personally I probably would have thought that the CC logo meant Closed Captioning. LOL I think CC should impact the way students learn and create projects, but I don't think students respect copyrights very much when working on school projects. I know my daughter used whatever resources she liked when she was developing a photo story for Aquatic Science. I use digital images and audio quite often in teaching to build background knowledge for my students, and I've never considered it to be a copyright violation since it was for educational purposes. As far as ownership of my own self-created teaching materials, I feel as though they are my property. Anything I have bought belongs to the person who created it. Potential negatives for CC might be confusion. Some users might not understand which materials and which are CC.
