Hello amigos and welcome to Animoto!
Every week we learn more and more about digital literacy and how we can benefit from all the resources available on the Internet. This week we explored how copyright laws limit what we can “use” from the Internet. No need to fear, creative commons (CC) was created and now there is a whole world of possibilities! The best description I found was from an article we were encouraged to read. CC “allows creators to invite certain uses of their works, while retaining copyright.” There are different specifications within this classification that tell us if a piece of work can be shared, modified, used for commercial use, etc. As digital citizens we need to realize that just because something is made available to us, it does not mean that we can necessarily do what we want with it. We need to be smart and understand the laws of the land so we can follow them.

There are a wide variety of tools we can use to find items
or images with CC and Flicker is one of them. I personally am really excited by
the idea of Flicker. I love taking photographs, and to have a place to
store and share them with others, while still being about to protect them is
great! After using many different tools this week, I had the opportunity to make
a presentation with Animoto. My presentation tells a brief “history” on
copyright and CC. This is a great and easy to use tool, but like most free
tools there are limitations to what can be done. Unfortunately I was limited to
the amount of text I could use, so use that wild imagination of yours when
viewing my slideshow!
