l have heard of copyrighting before but never really gave it much thought. I knew somethings could be used and some could not be used but did not know what Creative Commons was. As a student/future teacher I think it is extremely important because I know i have been online to get ideas for projects etc. I am the type of person who needs to see an example before going through with through with it.
A great example of creative commons is when we went to the picture website and copied pictures onto our blog. We want to show our students the right thing to do and this is a great way to do it. This will show students that we do not cheat and they should not either. I am wanting to make a difference in their life and this is a great way to start!
