Thing 9 - Copyright and Creative Commons

I was not surprised by the results that I rec'd from the quiz testing the understanding of copyright law of my students.  Very few of them were aware of what "giving credit, when credit is due" really means and what is legally able to be used from the internet.  Most believe that if it is out in the public domain, then it is free to use.  There is much to be aware of when using images and information from the internet and I know that I am not always aware of what is legal and not legal. 

Above is a screenshot taken from my website (my Face of the Classroom) and the creative common is located down in the lower left corner.
