Creative Commons CC
Students today have had easy access to a tremendous amount of multimedia
content
for their entire lives and it's fairly safe to say that they can be careless about using it.
When asked to create multimedia projects for school, many students simply search
topics and use whatever they can find without giving much thought to copyright
unless it has been addressed and reinforced by their teachers.
It's never too early to start teaching students about copyright, fair use and Creative Commons.
