Creative Commons

Copyright is a big issue that is often times avoided in a traditional high school or even middle school setting. We don't talk about it because it's really a non-issue until students get to college. Well as the world has become 'flat' as Mr. Thomas Friedman likes to put it, it is becoming an issue worth discussing with the all students involved in the digital world. The truth is students don't realize taking any ol' image from Google images has some serious legal ramifications. Thankfully there are websites like creative commons.org who are fighting the good fight and making it easier to find images, music, and movies that are part of public domain and only has partial rights reserved. Use this in the future as a way to guide yourself through the legal jungle of copyright materials that are online. Cheers!
