More and more questions seem to be popping up of late in workshops regarding copyright and plagiarism and the like, and Creative Commons is more an more the place to find and consider the answers. They just released the 3.0 version of their licenses and there seems to be more traction to the resources they are providing and linking to. For instance, check out the Free Music Project that is working with the One Laptop Per Child program to include freely-licensed music to all of the kids who will be receiving them.
I still wonder to what extent these services and conversations are making their way into the practice and classrooms of schools.
Daily. Well, the conversation part. Practice? 😉
I’m struggling as well. Unsure of most things. What am I sure of? Creative Commons (and the big idea backing it) and Wikipedia (and the big idea backing it) are major foundational pieces to the next 20 years.
Sure as I was in 1993 that the Internet would change things.
