Thing #10
I enjoyed the videos explaining the differences between Big C and little cc. I have been held hostage by Big C for a long time as I try to write curriculum and share wonderful ideas with teachers. Sometimes I have even avoided using ideas that I have seen in dozens of places because I've been afraid of the copyright police. So, the idea of places where people actually encourage the sharing of ideas is quite intriguing. I had never noticed the CC and have looked for it on several sites. I actually haven't found it too often, but maybe that's because I mostly frequent copyrighted sites!I did explore the OER Commons site and was blown away by all the stuff we could actually use for free and not get into trouble. Gator Girl challenged the content coordinators to go there and I went, though hesitantly. But I really found some top notch material. I will be using many of the ideas and images I have seen. It's really kind of freeing! I'm excited about the opportunites ahead!!

I'm so excited and proud of you! Isn't it amazing to be able to learn something new that isn't just fun but really actually useful! I thought there were a ton of resources there in just the few minutes that I explored... I can only imagine what might happen if I went in with a purposeful search! Look at us go and grow! We might be techies after all! :-) Love ya for trying it out!
