Thing #23

I have seen that video before so I was aware of the copyright laws that are out there. However, before that I did not completely know about them. I knew of them, but what they consisted of. I try my best to make sure I am not breaking any copy right laws when I use stuff from the Internet. I liked how in module 6 we were given sites to go to that were safe. I will be sure to utilize those sites from now on. I will also check for creative commons. I have not heard of that until now and I think it is great. I will use this in the future. This will allow others to use my work and possibly make it better.

I did see two places on the 23 things website showing that the idea was from another site. The first was at the bottom of the page in the right corner. It stated the following:

Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others. Content and style for Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers has been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License.

The second place was at the bottom of thing 23. It stated the following:

These two places helped me identify that the 23 things were created and modified from some other person's work.
