Creative Commons Video:

(6-22-13):

I, as I'm sure many of you, starting watching the video and immediately became intrigued.  I was not really sure what to expect when the video first began since there were little "men and women" with guitars bouncing on my screen.  Having been an English teacher in the middle school prior to sliding down to Kindergarten I realized how great this would be to share with my old colleagues at the middle level.  I enjoyed the fact that this video puts everything into perspective in a way that makes it completely easy to understand.  Creative Commons would be a great aspect for young students to start paying close attention to because of the mere fact that so many students are writing papers, using music, pictures and siting these items without getting consent from the copyrighted individual.  I really liked how the video showed that it "takes the middle man" out of the equation.  What a wonderful source to share along with others.
