Beth Dichter's insight:
This infographic is designed as a comic and explains the ins and outs of using Creative Common images. You might consider using it with students. Originally designed in German this is an English translation by the designer. The infographic designed in German provides an explanation as to how you might read the infographic as a comic, providing short descriptions for each section. You may access the German version at this link: http://www.bildersuche.org/creative-commons-infografik.php and if you use Google translator it will translate the text of the article (but not the infographic).

Fantastic! This is so helpful for students and teachers who are always a bit unclear on the grey areas of copyright. No matter which country you live in, these are clear and helpful. |
Teaching students about Creative Common licenses helps them to understand issues of plagiarism. What if we have students create an image, or publish a piece of their writing and also have them pick the correct license. We help students become creators and we teach them a new skill. The poster relies on visuals to help students understand the various types of licenses available. Consider posting a copy of this in your classroom.
