I didn't know it was possible to "semi-copyright" you're own work. The creative commons license is a good idea because you can get your thoughts and projects out into the world but still claim them as your own. You can get the credit any way you want to. Because of that, you also need to be very specific in how you want the credit verified by other users of your "product".
In the publishing of my videos during school I will most likely use a Creative Commons License, when ever possible. I don't mind others using my work, but you never know if someone is really going to like it and want to use it for a potentially profitable project. It's always nice to have those options! I appreciate learning about this because I like to share my work, but keep tabs on how its being used.
I can use this in my teaching as well. Virtual lesson activities are great to share, and with a Creative Commons License I can do that. I know I will use the UEN.org lesson plans that other teachers have posted. I would like to be able to contribute my work for other teachers, but know that it is still my own! This is a great concept and I'm glad we learned about it!
