About Copyright and Creative Commons I've gotten a few requests lately for resources on how to teach kids (and adults!) about copyright. I've written before about how I don't think any lesson on copyright can be effective without an emphasis on creative commons and helping students choose licenses for their own work. Still, there are plenty of good resources out there to help start these conversations or that can serve as reminders as you help create a culture of creativity and attribution at your school. To that end, I've also written before about how much love Edcanvas - a tool which recently changed its name to Blendspace. Enjoy! Direct link to this blendspace.

What Is Creative Commons, And Should You Use It? Did you know that most images, music, and other media on the internet are not free to reuse for your own purposes? In most cases, unless you have permission to use these kinds of content, doing so is illegal. This is where the Creative Commons license comes in. The system allows creators to share their work online freely with others, imposing only minimal restrictions on its use. Let's take a look at what Creative Commons is, how to interpret a Creative Commons license, and what "non-commercial use" means. What Is Creative Commons? Creative Commons is the name of an American non-profit company that releases copyright licenses to the public at no cost. The reason that Creative Commons (CC) licenses exist is to provide creators with an easy way to define how other people can use their content. The Creative Commons organization provides a variety of easy-to-understand licenses that content creators can freely use. Creative Commons vs. Not all content is CC-licensed. Next is Share-alike (SA).
