Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things. That program is based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers, Technology Director at the Charlotte Mecklenburg County Public Library system, with the support and assitance of several staff. Helene's program was loosely based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006) and the website 43Things.
So
there is a lot of things about Creative Commons to follow. I like that there is
an organization putting the info out there about the rights of original work
and that they are providing a way for people to put it out and allow other to
use it. It does however begin to limit what a person might use for their work.
I do find that this is something we need to teach students as they grow up
because they need to understand the importance of the rights to other's work as
well as their own. It begins by having them put their name on their work. They
need to be taught to have pride in that it is theirs. They can begin to
understand what those rights are and how to use them. I would hope the end
result is a lot less cheating and plagiarizing. I think this also begins to
open educators minds to be sure their own work is original or used work
credited correctly. If we begin to appropriate everyone's personal ideas and
creativity as well as our own maybe the world will begin to have a little more
meaningful life.
That last paragraph is from my own writing on Livetext.com. I wonder if I need to give myself creative commons?
