Creative Commons is a great idea. It protects the author and the person who wants to share or use someone else's work. As a teacher, Creative Commons is great because sharing files electronically is being used more and more. I know if I create anything, I have protection. Ethics should be taught to students and using only items that are under shareable status is a great way to teach them that. An attribution can be found in the credits.

               

After creating my LiveBinder, I created Context clues, Adverbs, and Websites of Interest. I enjoyed creating these binders because I have been writing lessons for both of these topics for quite sometime! I have my websites binder to collect useful links. I have a folder on my computer that has links in it so I was able to transfer these into my Websites of Interest binder! 

I have been using YouTube for years now and looking up videos is such an easy, fun, and time consuming hobby! I like YouTube because everything you could dream of seeing is at a fingertip's reach. The only downside to using YouTube in an educational setting, is the amount of bad material on the site. Many schools block YouTube so it's hard to list this as a good resource. I think YouTube has a lot to offer and I plan on incorporating it into my classroom whenever I can.

I am a member of TeacherPop and also BakeSpace! I love both of these social networking sites! I really didn't know other networks existed other than Facebook and Twitter! (And of course, the fallen Myspace!) Using social network sites are useful because they have a focus on just one aspect! I really love baking so I was thrilled to join BakeSpace! They have so many new and creative recipes I am just dying to try!
