Creative Commons

http://creativecommons.org/

Educators are able to benefit from using creative commons because it helps them determine the difference when it comes to copy right laws and the right and wrong way to use them in a classroom. When gathering more information on a something being taught in class this website is appropriate as long as you use it the right way and your not abusing it. The website gives educators and students access to share someone else information, music, videos etc.. and it'll be okay because there are specific controls on it. The struggles of copy right laws and using them in school are kind of out the door in a way. Creative commons is free and its a great organization that needs to be heard out more. 
 I had to read over the creative commons several times to grasp the concept and it's still a little confusing to me but over time and actually seeing it put to use I may be able to understand it more.
