Thing #23

The Student Journalism 2.0 reminded me a lot of the 23 things. It allows students to express their thoughts through blogs on various topics. As an English teacher, Creative Commons is a resource that my students can use with their papers, projects, and personal knowledge growth. For extra credit, I can have students create an account for Creative Commons ("extra credit" is the magic word to any high school student's ears). I also used the Creative Commons site in my interactive document for Livetext. The document allows students to quickly navigate to specific links and see images about the issue of plagiarism and how to avoid it. Creative Commons gives users a safe environment to share their works.
