Blog 9: Introducing Creative Commons

As promised, here is the video, "wanna work together," which provides a great introduction to CC. However, I figured this would be a great idea for next weeks blog. Thus, watch one or two of the following videos, and explain to me, since you've all been doing such a fantastic job so far with these blogs, why is creative commons important & how does it "redefine," "alter," or "change" our concepts of plagiarism. Special note, you must do so without discussing copyright. Better said, concentrate on the academic conventions of attribution, and the way that one creates authority as a writer to make your case or convey your argument.




However, there are actually a number of others which are just as great.

"Building on the Past" is probably my favorite:



These two flash movies are still fun, and provide further explain the benefits of CC to our society:

"Get Creative"
"Reticulum Rex"

Hope you enjoyed the videos and have a great week learning from Mr. Ladd--he knows a great deal, or a plethora (as Ms. Thompson would say), about computers, photoshop, and these types of assignments.

All the best,
