Jane and Ann–

Thanks for the great suggestions in your comments! This is such a challenging but important topic for students, and collectively we need all the help and support we can get. I’m looking forward to checking out the OpenEd links and I hope to see some of the student projects; thanks again!

This is a great post with a lot of information. I’m having my eighth grade students create Google presentations about the decades within a Time Travel theme. We’ve been making extensive use of the Google Advanced Image Search’s usage rights option. So far, the students are having an interesting time finding and linking to the image and citing the CC license. Having the work in Google Docs is making it easy for me to keep up with their work and check their links. One student said on the way out of the lab that it’s hard the first time, but then it gets easier to copy links and check licenses.

They worked through creating animations and selecting a license for those little pieces of art as seventh grade students last year. It takes many years and a lot of practice for everything to sink in.

Thank you for all the links, I’ll be bookmarking this post under creative commons, copyright, and fair use for the future.

Hello,

You may want to consider adding this and some of the resources you mention to OpenEd’s resources page at http://opened.creativecommons.org/Resources. This page contains resources ABOUT open education and related subjects such as copyright and fair use (not actual educational resources for teachers) and is contributed by the community (OpenEd is a wiki.)

Also, you may be interested in a resource for teachers and learners alike known as DiscoverEd (discovered.creativecommons.org). DiscoverEd is CC Learn’s search prototype for educational resources.
