I knew from the very beginning of this activity that it was based on someone else's work because after scrolling to the bottom of the 23 things blog I saw this note...

Now that I know about the Creative Commons I'll make sure that my students and I publish all work with the "some rights reserved" rather than "all rights reserved" tag. I say this because the main reason the internet is such a wonderful learning tool is because it gives you the ability to both share your own work and see others. I want other schools and students to benefit from the activities I do with my class and perhaps implement them in their own classroom. I like Creative Commons versus regular copyright law because it is not as stringent and easy to get sued over. For example in law school I read a case where a mother was sued for making 10 t-shirts for the kids at her daughter's birthday party with the image of Mickey Mouse on them. Crazy huh!?
