I have seen logos and websites with “C” however, I cannot recall seeing the “cc” on them. I was not aware that as soon as your pen left a piece of paper that is is automatically copyrighted. I was taught that you needed you have your work copyrighted through a process.
I knew that works that were copyrighted could be used on limits for educational purposes. I myself have used digital images for teaching purposes. I have shown video clips in my classroom before for teaching purposes as well. I guess if you consider me posting my pictures on Facebook, then yes I have shared content on the web. I have uploaded pictures on Kodak Photo Gallery as well but al this is for personal use.
I label my classroom and I use picture within the labels to help my students identify and associate the words with the pictures. The question asking “Who owns my teaching materials?” confuses me a little. I mean anything I make, I would assume is mine... correct? But would an example of “cc” be the file folder materials I can cut up and use to create file folder games. Would that be an example of Co-owned materials?
Your statement,"Who owns my teaching materials? confuses me a little. I mean anything I make, I would assume is mine... correct?" I have wondered about this exact thing since studying copyright last semester. Now that you have had time to process these comments any answer yet?
ReplyDelete"cc" photographs come in real handy when teaching history lessons or needing general pictures. Hope you take the time to play around with Flicker.
Creative Commons is always easy to grasp quickly. It has taken me quite some time to at least gain a basic understanding of copyright in education. I need to take a course on that! But flickr can be very helpful for teachers in finding quality images that we can use legally.
