Copyright and Creative Commons. Educators have always known about Copyright and the limits it places on them in collecting information for their students. Some totally respect it, others take what they want and justify it by saying, "I needed it." No justification, but we have all heard it. Others take the stance that whatever someone else has created they should be able to create on their own - but time gets in the way. There are not enough hours in the day.
People donating their works and making it available to many through Creative Commons is a wonderful solution to this issue. When many contribute work to be used or modified the process of original work becomes much more manageable. I would love to see some of my students share their work with others and to provide lessons we have created for them shared with other teachers. It broadens the concept of sharing with our colleagues to a whole new level.
