Thing 23!!!

I have seen a lot of these copyright and plagarism sites before. The video is cute and very creative but I don't think many would have the patience to watch it. Creative Commons has some great information and I like what he says about sharing creative endeavors in order to foster collaboration. I especially like the links on the Piracy and Plagiarism page because more of them are suitable to use for students in middle and high school. I have already bookmarked before this class several sites to use in both instruction of faculty and students. The only problem I have is finding the time to get this inserted into library instruction. We already have so much we want to teach and not enough time with the students. I am going to spend some time this year working with curriculum outcomes for information literacy standards so I hope to find the right the place to put this in instruction into instead of just hitting it here and there and to use some of the web 2.0 tools with the students so they can collaborate on creative projects (other than Face Book).

I had so much fun going through the 23 things and I am so proud of the teachers on my campus that completed the course as well. Some of them are already hard at work setting up their 2.0 classroooms and deciding what else they are going to use this year. I especially want to spend some more time on my delicious account and getting better acquainted with nings. Blogging was great fun and I've set up one for my Sunday School class that is really helping out. I really hope that Region One will be able to offer more opportunities like this one because you can really do some in depth work when it is also possible to be at home in your pajamas!
