Thing #23

The 23 Things blog is based on somebody else's work. The project is loosely based on Stephen Abram's article "43 Thing I (or You) might want to do this year" and the website called "43 Things." The original work was not particularly talking about education, but the 23 Things blogging assignment was modified to be about education and learning Web 2.0 tools. Creative commons means that you can use somebody else's original work in a way that the person allows you to. They keep some of their rights, but they give up some of their rights. They may allow anybody to use and/or remix their work if they want to. Using creative commons can be useful for me when I become a teacher. I can use the site to use and remix different people's original work, as long as I credit the author. It is also important that I teach my students about copyright and creative commons so that they don't use somebody else's original work in the wrong way.
