Creative Commons

I never realized how careful you had to be with copyrights.  I always knew they were important, but I did not realize just how careful you had to be with them. 

After learning about Creative Commons I will definitely be more cautious about what I use in the classroom.  This is a great site to legally use pictures, videos, and much more for free.  It is also a place you can share your work and chose who you allow to use it and for what purpose.  When I have a classroom of my own, I will use this site all the time to find things I could use to help with my teaching and also share things I have created with others.


Here is a photo that I found to help show what a terrestrial ecosystem looks like:
