Creative Commons in our Libraries
Posted by: markwoolley in Conference Presentations, Professional Learning, Researching
This post supports a presentation to the Catholic Primary Teacher Librarians’ Association Annual Conference for Teacher Librarians and Library Assistants.
Our current use of Digital resources presents a real challenge to our catholic values of integrity, justice and dignity.
Creative commons provides an opportunity for us and our students to use rich digital resources in an ethical way. It allows us to fairly and legally copy, modify and reuse digital resources. By encouraging the use of creative commons resources you can assist your students and teachers to develop a moral and ethically sound approach to the use of digital resources
The presentation similar to that used on the day can be found below however if you would like a copy of the full presentation with the movies included for use with your staff or students please contact Mark Woolley at the Wollongong CEO.
The creative commons sites mentioned during the presentation are listed below
