Thing #23

There is a note on the home page of The 23 Things that says "this project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006)." That note tells me that the Learning 2.0-23Things for Teachers blog was not a completely original idea but was modified from someone else's creation. After learning about Creative Commons licensing, I have decided that I will be more careful about the things that I copy from the Internet for my own personal use and for educational purposes. I will remian abreast of the proper laws pertaining to copyright, Creative Commons, and fair use. I need to give credit to the original makers and respect their ideas as I would want other individuals to do for my works. I will teach my students to be responsible about the Internet, copyright laws, and Creative Commons licensing as well. The laws are in place to protect the creators of works, and we all need to obey such laws for our own sakes and theirs.
