Thing #10- Creative Commons

Before this lesson I was not aware of Creative Commons. Thinking back, I wonder how many times I have violated the Copy Right laws! This is such a great idea. There are so many times, when creating a presentation for work or school that I have just gone on the web and hit "save as". This is also a great lesson for our students. So many times, they are taught what they can not use, but we should also give them instruction on what to use. Most students are not cyber criminals but some student lack creativity. To counteract the negative impact of this creativity, teacher should make an effort to teach students the importance of cyber ethics and safety. As online learning grows, the implementation of lessons in cyber ethics and safety will become necessary. The lessons should emphasize the students' role in protecting themselves as well as the school.
