Before this Master's program, I never looked too much in to Creative Commons, beyond simple images. After looking a little deeper into the way that CC can be used in the classroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there is quite a list.
There are two in-particular that got my brain thinking…The first idea was actually one that I found as I searched around to understand more about how exactly things could be used. I read through a presentation about ways Creative Commons can be used in a classroom and how a presentation that was licensed could be used, modified, and adapted to fit your needs. With some of the major changes that are going through the educational system at the current moment, I can see this coming in hand quite a bit. I have already found a few interesting resources that I will be looking at using in/with some of the new flipcharts that I am making to correlate with the new Common Core Standards.
I also came across some information about how to teach students about copyright and finding appropriate resources for reports. This is always something that I find a little difficult to teach younger students because of all the details that are involved in citing and acknowledging the source. Using some of the guidelines that were shared made it a bit less intimidating to address and for students to understand.
I really like the idea of using a licensed presentation. Maybe students could "remix" the presentation and include some things they like, but stay within the guidelines of the license. Neat!
ReplyDeleteI like that reference at Scribd.com. That is actually worth reading! Maybe should be an article for future cohorts to read!!!
ReplyDeleteJessica I watched that presentation too and they did have great information provided. It's great to find new reasons and ways to implement the idea into an assignment.
