Crane's Thing #23

Hmmm ... after learning about Creative Commons in class, and then reviewing it again for this post, it occurs to me that there are a lot of people unknowingly infringing on other people's creative work.  This APSU 23 Things blog gives proper credit to the origniator of this content by posting the following message:

*Note: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006).

The blog also concludes by providing the creative commons licensing agreement that explains how others may modify the content of our 23 Things to include the Creative Commons Some Rights Reserved image and link. 
 
Now that I have been shown Creative Commons and taught about content licensing, there is really no excuse to not follow these rules.  Most people don't mind sharing their content, especially for educational purposes.  I will certainly go through Creative Commons from now on instead of using the Google image search that I have used in the past.
