Creative Commons for Student Work

Three days of blogging in a row! Before I tap myself on the back too much, I’ve been thinking about copyright. Not that I think people are lining up to re-sell my content, but it certainly is an issue where technology runs far ahead of the laws.

Yesterday I added a Creative Commons license to my blog. I am very happy to have others pick up my work and reuse it for non-commercial use. In fact, I hope lots of people pick up all of the information I put on the web. That’s the educator in me, I suppose.

What I’d really like to see is all of our high school students applying Creative Commons licenses to their schoolwork. What a great way to make it explicit to students that their work should be good enough so that others will want to use it. Teachers should also be thinking about the assignments that lead to those works so that the questions and problems that are posed lead to publications that others might want to read or enjoy.
