Thing 23

I found a note posted at the bottom of the 23 Things home page that says:  This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year(Information Outlook - Feb 2006). So I am assuming this is the basis of our 23 Things and this note is attributing to the original person who came up with "things."  


I did not realize how big a deal it is to use other people's work or pictures or videos or ideas without permission until I studied Creative Commons.  As a teacher, I will need ideas for the classroom, for classroom management, teaching strategies, all that.  So I will certainly be looking for ideas on the Internet.  But now I am much wiser about copyright laws so I will always look for the CC or C so that I know whether or not I can use the idea or whatever I may find.  I have never intentionally stolen anyone else's ideas or pictures from the Internet.  I just thought before that since it was on the Internet anyone can use it, but now I know better.  I will always check Creative Commons before I take something from the Internet for use in the classroom.
