Copyright and Creative Commons
I created a copyright quiz using Google Docs. I sent the quiz to several coworkers and family members (who are also educators). Overall, people seemed to
have an okay understanding of copyright and fair use. One thing that I found was that people (myself included) seemed to think that there were "hard and fast" rules about the amount of material that could be used inorder to stay within fair use guidelines (400 words of text, 10% of work, etc...). I think I remember learning about these guidelines either at a conference of from one of the tech people in our district. I also found that people (including myself) didn't realized that unpublished material has copyright "rights." I guess I just had not thought about it. But I guess that makes sense. I did know that you could register your copyright since I have instructions for how to do that with my dissertation (once it's finished!).
I created a Creative Commons license for my personal Weebly site. Here is a screen shot of my license (sorry it's so small).
