Thing #23~Amy Rutledge

Thing #23 is about Creative Commons. This resource helped me learn that even though you can find something on the web does not necessarily mean that it is free to take as your own. It is important to always give credit where credit is due or ask if necessary before taking a picture or object. Understanding this concept is important to know as a teacher and also to pass on to our students. It is vital that we pass this knowledge on to our students so that they do not erroneously plagiarize material. While we are quick to teach this concept in writing academic papers, we sometimes fail to do so with images obtainable on the web. Hopefully, with the knowledge I have gained, I can pass this lesson on to my students!
