What is Creative Commons? An alternative to traditional copyright.
Most original works are automatically protected by strict copyright.
Creative Commons allows individuals to release some of those rights, while retaining others.
The goal is increasing access to and sharing intellectual property.
Creative Commons Licenses
Creators choose a set of conditions they wish to apply to their work.
Attribution. You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work — and derivative works based upon it — but only if they give credit the way you request.
Noncommercial. You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work — and derivative works based upon it — but for noncommercial purposes only.
No Derivative Works. You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.
Share Alike. You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.

Adding a License
Creative Commons: Why teach this to students?Why encourage use of CC-licensed work? Sets an example Creates intellectual “muscle memory”
Why have students create CC licenses for their work?
Same as above Also encourages an ethical sharing of creative
work that will benefit everyone.
Downloading Creative Commons Photos on Flickr
Tutorial by Karen Cox Graphic credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steren/2732488224/
A photo with a Creative Commons license can be used for personal use without asking the permission of the photographer. You can use these photos in your classroom, but be sure to read the license so you know exactly how it can or cannot be used.
If you find a copyrighted photo on Flickr that you really want to use, don’t hesitate to send the photographer a Flickr mail and ask permission, explaining exactly how you plan to use the photo. They just might say yes.
Step 1Click the Search button.
Step 2Click “Advanced Search.”
Step 3Type your text (whatever you are searching for) into the text bar to the right of “Search for”. For example, I typed “lion”.
Step 4Scroll down until you see the Creative Commons logo. Check the box beside “Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content.”
Step 5Next you will see the search results. There are over 87,000 photos of lions with the Creative Commons license.
Step 6When you’ve found the photo you want to use, just click it.
Step 7Next, you will come to the photo’s webpage. Above the photo, click “All sizes”.
Step 8Then you will see which sizes are available for the photo. I recommend downloading either the “large” or “original” size.
Step 9Before you download, check to make sure the photo has a Creative Commons license. (The license is just below the photo.)
Step 10To download the photo, you can either click the download link, or right click on the photo and choose “Save Image As”.
Step 11Choose a location on your computer to save the photo (“Save in”), rename the file (“File name”), and click the Save button. Then you will be able to find your photo on your computer (in whatever location you saved it).
