Creative Commons

This week we were to take a look at Creative Commons "a copyright-free music and art site."
http://creativecommons.org/ this is a non profit organization that offers free licenses for people to be able to have credit for their work. This allows others to be able to "mark creative work with the freedom the creator wants it to carry, so others can share, remix, use commercially, or any combination thereof."
In my opinion this is simply ingenius! I started looking around their site a bit and found ccLearn a division of the Creative Commons that is an open resource for education Wikipedia is one of these resources. I also took a look at DiscoverEd., OpenEd., and Student Journalism 2.o that were listed under the "project" tab for ccLearn.
I had never considered copyright issues for teachers in the classroom. ccLearn is a great idea that is supportive of reusing and sharing educational resources.
