Thing 23

After going to the "23 Things" homepage, I scrolled down to the very bottom and under 'credits' was the following......


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 indicates that 23 Things was designed by a woman named Helene Blowers and has been adopted by many institutions.

After learning a lot about how Creative Commons works, I have found that it is very easy to find sources and use them while still doing it the right, legal way. I will definitely use this when finding sources for my future students in the classroom and also teach them about. I wish that I had known about Creative Commons a lot sooner. It would have been very helpful.
