Thing 10

Is noticing CC the same as the once you pick a color for your new car you begin to see that color everywhere? I have not noticed CC or even wondered about CC. Maybe I thought "carbon copy"? Many people think that because an image or article is on the internet it is open domain. Granted it took some training from the librarians to show me the the error of my ways. The CC seems to offer a place to locate images, articles, etc. to use in student presentations (both print and digital). English teachers deal with this issue in research papers with documentation and citation. Now it seems a new issue needs to be addressed.
The reason for me taking 23 Things is to be able to use digital images and such in presentations and the development of curriculum. The question of who owns the "teaching materials" is two-sided. I believe teachers do "own" the materials they construct for teaching. On the other side of the question, who "owns" the materials when teachers come in to develop lessons for the district curriculum.
I visited several sites. A wealth of material is available. The random search I made lead to many interesting sites, but now I'm not sure how to go back. My "bread crumb" trail twists and turns on itself. Is there a quick way to mark a site?
At the moment, I do not know enough to point out any potential negatives, but I do believe they are lurking in the shadows.
