 * Weekly Activity 2/22/10 - Creative Commons Licensing**

__Activity__: Create an informational brochure, flyer, bookmark, or other artifact (in Word) to inform your students and teachers about Creative Commons licensing. Develop your artifact with the appropriate level of detail for the age of your students and strive for simplicity in your design. When finished, use the edit feature of this wiki page to upload the file to this page by your name below, so that we can all share each other's items. Include on your artifact the licensing that you grant to others to use and adapt your artifact. Consider using the "Attribution" license. (This means that other librarians can use your artifact at their schools and adapt it to their needs, as long as they cite someplace on the document that you were the original creator.)

__About Creative Commons Licensing__: Creative Commons is a **nonprofit** corporation dedicated to making it easier for people to share and build upon the work of others, consistent with the rules of copyright. (See [] for more information.) For educators, Creative Commons licensing provides an easy way to adhere to copyright law, to cite sources accurately, and to share created works in the way the owner intended.

__Uses with students__: It is the responsibility of the school librarian to inform students and teachers about Creative Commons licensing as part of teaching information literacy skills. This instruction should also include a discussion about using items in the Public Domain, as well as seeking written permission to use items not covered in Creative Commons (even if covered by Fair Use). For our current Digital Storytelling project, make sure that students use images that they have created themselves or that they have the right to use.
