A little under Dr.Walls' avatar, there is a paragraph stating that Learning 2.0-23 Things for Teachers is based on a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District, and the Program was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and it has been borrowed and duplicated with permission under Creative Commons.
I found the creative commons lesson so helpful in class. I know what plagiarism is, however it does not seem like I actually learned about copyright until my late high school years. I am sure I used pictures and songs without giving proper credit when I was younger. It is best to build strong habits as early as possible. If you learn something and practice it while you are young, it will be second nature. Before this class I didn't even realize there were special websites where you could go to use pictures and other materials for academic purposes. This skill is very important, especially since the internet has made other people's work so accessible.
