Thing #23

Score! 
We totally already went over this in class! And another funny thing is I used the Fair(y) Use Tale as a tool in my technology project for the lesson we had to create about Creative Commons.
As for our discovery exercise, what shows that Learning 2.0-23Things for Teachers was based on someone else's work is in the credits. It states it outright.

"Credits 
Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others. Content and style for Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers has been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License."

That's pretty much a smokin' gun right there. Wow, this 23 Things thing has been adapted from an adaption of a work. That's so cool. AND, there's a sticker at the end of the 23th thing that says that  Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is under a Creative Commons license as well. Which means we could adapt it in the future to teach our students about all the fun and interesting Web 2.0 tools....Hey...This is kind of like the "Circle of Life" isn't it? We learn then use what we learned to teach others so that they can teach others. HOLY MOLY, I just got the point of all this!
And the use of learning about the Creative Commons is so that
a) we don’t break any copyright laws
b) so that we can be informed individuals and share all that we learned so that the circle continues!
Now that I've had a breakthrough, I'm going to go listen to that song...
