23 Things for Teachers is based off of Learning 2.0 - 23 Things by Mesquite ISD's Learning 2.0 - 23 Things which was based off of 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 assistance 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.
Our class has talked about copyrights before, but it's never really been discussed in any class I have ever taken. I know not to plagiarize other people's work and I know that I need to pay for music, but the thought has never really crossed my mind when dealing with Internet things. I always figured since it was out there I could use it. I would still attribute the work to the creator, but sometimes it's been used so much that I can't tell who the original owner was.
It's sad that at 24 I'm just learning about Creative Commons or copyrights regarding the various things on the Internet. I will make sure that when I am a teacher I introduce all of my students to Creative Commons, the advance search on Google, and copyright laws. People put so much time and effort into things they create, no one should be able to steal it and take that away the hard work from the original creator.
