Digital Story Week 2

Today was week 2 of Digital Stories.

It was really interesting to learn about creative commons. Being yearbook editor in High School I knew about cc, but I never knew what it really was. I was under the impression it had the meaning carbon copy. This lesson was really helpful because now I know what it means and how to find things with and open cc licenses. Now in my other classes when I have to use images off the web I am very careful to use ones with an open cc license. I believe this is a very valuable thing to know in the classroom and it is something I am going to teach my students. It is something that they are going to need to be aware of everyday.

Well knowing this changed my schema cause I totally had an experience of disequlibrium. Now I know what cc really is. Knowing this information will help me abide by cc laws and only use cc approved things in the classroom or going to proper places to get un cc things approved for class use. I believe I can give my students a similar assignment as what we did where they learn a thing about cc and teach it to others in the class.
