Creative Commons

I just watched a video on youtube called "Wanna Work Together."  It is about a movement called Creative Commons.  I will admit that I had never heard about this movement until I watched the video, but it is an interesting concept.  Creative Commons allows people to easily share their creativity.  Whenever someone creates or makes something, whether it is a picture, song, or written text, the creator automatically owns the rights to what he/she created.  Creative Commons is a free website that allows the creator to get a license that sets up perimeters of how the creator wants to share his/ her work.  This way, people around the world can effortlessly share their work.

 I have already benefited greatly from the creative commons movement.  I frequently use Pinterest to get ideas for personal and professional use.  I use Pinterest at home for recipes, crafts, and decoration ideas.  I also use it to get ideas to use in my classes.  Additionally, I have visited the website Teachers Pay Teachers.  I have yet to utilize this website, but I can see myself using it quite a bit when I become a teacher.  I think that this movement will only continue to grow and will benefit so many people.  I hope that I can come up with some creative ideas that I can share with others!
