Scoop.it!
If you students are engaged in creating and publishing digital content then chances are they are using Creative Commons materials. This post by Joyce Valenza introduces you to the new Creative Commons license chooser that was launched this week. Using this tool you may "enable Creative Commons licensing in the following formats: Images, Audio, Video, and Text." Additional information is found in the post.

Today we want our students to create, yet we know they do this by remixing and reusing "intellectual property" from others. Do they understand the need to give credit where credit is due. This toolkit provides a wide range of resources to help them make the correct decision (or to help you teach them how to make that decision). Sections include:
* What is Creative Commons?
* How to find Creative Commons content? Remember, content may include images, audio, video and YouTube (as examples). This section is quite robust in providing access to many resources, including portal for music, images and video as well as favorite sources for images and sounds.
* What do those Creative Commons License icons mean?
* Creative Commons licenses are for you too! What if your students create content and license it under Creative Commons?
* Public Domain resources
* Fair Use
* And more!
This is a great resource that is probably best for older students but the resources will guide you to locations that you may use with younger students also.
