Thing 23 - Creative Commons

Here is my proof/attribution that 23 Things was based on someone else's work.  It is only fair to give credit where credit is due.  We learned about Creative Commons while creating our copyright and fair use tutorial for our project, so this was just a refresher.  As a teacher, I will encourage (and enforce) fair use and teach students the correct way to use and credit (re)sources.  Students will be more inclined to do the right thing if we, as teachers, appeal to their sense of fairness.   By asking students to think about how they would feel if someone "stole" or copied their work, they will be more inclined to do the right thing and credit and quote their sources.
