Today is a day on copyrighted material. I actually love this lesson because I have learned some really cool things. I was asked to research creative commons and licenses. Creative Commons is a website dedicated to sharing free material that can be distributed to the public.
What I love about this website is that I have an unlimited resource of pictures and music to use without copyright use. I have been told in the past by professionals that so long as I don't gain money or mass spread my material, (personal use) there is no copyright. I have never put any videos on You Tube because of this. I always wondered if everything I needed had to be my own pictures, music, etc. I now have the websites and materials to create a video I can place onto Youtube.
As a teacher I want to be safe on the materials I am using. It seems that most teachers have copyrighted materials being used in their classrooms. I will now be able to help other professionals to get non-copyrighted, or shared materials. I thought it would be fun to make an end of the year video using free photos, music, and sound clips. Its a wonderful world! :)
