Thing # 23 Creative Commons

The Learning 2.0 23Things for Teachers blog, which we have been working through in our technology class, was adapted from another source and licensed through Creative Commons.  CC allows makers to share with users, granting permission for them to work with their material.  The amount of leeway granted by a CC license is determined by the maker.
As an educator, I will probably first turn to a CC search to locate material I wish to use for my class.  This rules out having to worry about violating Copyright law by only finding material that is licensed through CC.  This is just as simple as a Google search, and yields worry-free results.
