Thing #23

The 23 things Learning 2.0 exercise can be found at http://sjlibrary23.blogspot.com/.

Creative commons is the greatest resource an educator can take advantage of. Most educators are in the field due to the desire to make a difference in students lives. The time needed to create all original lessons would take away from the very people most educators care about. There truly is no need to reinvent the wheel. Like the idea of the 23 things exercise many learning resources are available all over the web. Using images and videos from multiple sources is essential in supplementing instruction as well as increasing time to devote to creating original learning activities to increase students interest. Due to creative commons resources  can be taken advantage of with more free reign to use information and resources as the creator intended them to be used.
