Creative Commons

What is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons is an organization that created tools (licenses) for artists, musicians, graphic designers, filmmakers, writers, and photographers to share their work. Why is this important?

• We can use their work! And we can license our work, and our students can license their work
• Creative Commons offers a number of different types of licenses we can apply and/or use
• What are the licenses you can apply to your work or use when using other's works? Find out from Creative Commons
• What are examples of applying Creative Common's licenses? Here are a number of good, ok, and not-so-good examples
