ECI 719- Scavenger Hunt

When I first saw the title for the assignment, I thought it was going to be a breeze. WRONG! I learned a lot about Creative Commons and public domain media. Wouldn't it be great if universal access was possible....at least for educational purposes. I suppose that's why CC was created and I certainly found their site to be valuable. Through my search for wolves (and I know quite a bit about wolves now), I stumbled across some really great websites my teachers can use. I can't wait to share them. Even though the assignment took me more time than I thought it would, it was certainly worth learning about copyrights and public domain materials.

  1. I, too, thought that this assignment would take me less that 5mins AND it very well would have if I done it improperly, without regards to fair use concerns. A valuable lesson has indeed been learned from this exercise.

  2. I agree as well. Took me a long time to find the stuff, but eventually found some great stuff - let's hope is not the same stuff others have found. Now all I gotta do is figure out how to upload it and I'll be fine...

  3. That's exactly what we wanted you all to see. :) Now you'll know what it may feel like for you students - and will hopefully be able to help them find appropriate media.
