Thing 23

Creative Commons is a great way for people to allow others to use any kind of information or work of their own.  Creative Commons gives folks permission to use pictures, documents, etc. as long as the user follows the specific guidelines set forth by the author.  Creative Commons, along with Fair Use, will really expand the depths that educators can go, freely, to teach students with the most advanced, and unique resources available.  This is a game changer in education.  Teachers can now use material without the fear that they could get into trouble when all the teacher is trying to do is use what is available to help the students become more able.
