I love the creative commons video, really great explanation of the creative commons. I still have a lot of issues, though, with using the creative commons in my teaching. For one thing, I teach K-8, and a lot of the images I find in the creative commons are, well, things that would cause a LOT of trouble! So, although I want students to begin using cc instead of google, I can't allow it. I've steered students away from google and toward pics4learning, which is a great copyright-free image site for education, but somewhat difficult to search/navigate and many of the images are low quality. I am looking for a better answer still. I'd love it if there were a K-8 "appropriate" creative commons. Also, I am still sometimes unsure if I am using the creative commons correctly in my search for images.</p> <p>I'll look forward to hearing how it goes with your grade 9's.</p> Thanks for sharing!

We are in the process of rewriting our 9th grade computer applications curriculum and want to include Creative Commons in that curriculum.</p> Thanks for sharing these thoughts.
