Thing 23 Creative Commons


The 23 Things was adapted from the website 43Things. This website has evolved into a place where you can set personal goals and have a community of supporters to help you. It’s actually a very motivational site. After discovering it, I believe I will use it to set personal and professional goals. THAT website came from an article written by Stephen Abram titled “43 Things I (Or You) Might Want to Do This Year”.

Now that I have further explored Creative Commons, I can use this as a future teacher because I know what is safe to use in the classroom and what may cause issues in the classroom due to copyright. I will use Creative Commons to teach children what is okay to borrow and share. I will explain what plagiarizing is and make sure everyone understands the consequences. With this, I can explain the plethora of information and ideas on the web that ARE okay to share and use freely. Many people do not know the difference and this is vitally important to today’s youth.
