Thing #23 Creative Commons

Due to extensive reading and learning about Creative Commons I now have a good grasp of the idea. But the basis of the idea is formed because traditional copyright license really restrict the use of a creation. Many artist, writers, and students wanted to have ownership of their creation, yet wanted to share it with the rest of the world. This was achieved with the newly formed licensing that Creative Commons offers. As a teacher I will use this if I create a new document or literary work that I want to share with other people. It is important to retain credit for my work but I would like to share it with other teachers if it would increase the educatoinal experience of their students.
