Thing 23

"Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things, a staff development program for the Mesquite Independent School District. That program was based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers and adapted by the California School Library Association and others. Content and style for Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers has been borrowed and duplicated with permission, under a Creative Commons License."

This is located in the credits section of the 23 Things blog and it is extremely important because it gives credit where credit is due. Crediting sources is just as important on a website as it is in any document you create. Plagarism comes in many forms and crediting an edited work helps to prevent any complications. 

*Note: This project is loosely based upon the website 43Things (which allows you to set and track personal goals) and the Stephen Abram article titled 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006). 


The above credit is located at the bottom of the blog page, allowing for credit to the original blog that has been edited to our specific needs.

Creative Commons licensing will be something I use often in the classroom because there is such a wealth of knowledge on the internet and so many templates available to teachers. When using a program or template created almost entirely by someone else, but editing small aspects to fit you and your class, you want to make sure that you supply to credit to the original. Creative Commons can assist with that.
