E. Mitchell's Create 3.1.1. – Open Educational Resources and Creative Commons Quest

For this quest, create an entry in your blog in which you develop a definition of open educational resources and explain the various Creative Commons licenses one may encounter when searching for these resources.

My definition of open educational resources: materials intended for the purpose of learning opportunities (for teachers, students, or life-long learners) that are acknowledged free use.

There are varying encounters with Creative Commons licenses one may have.  With Attribution, one can build off another's work as long as credit to the original author has been given.  Others like, attribution-NonCommerical-NoDerivs, allow one to download and share as long as credit is given and no modifications are made.  I think of what College Board allows AP teachers to do. For example, they provide us with access to FRQs from year's past.  It is okay to use them for assessments as long as College Board credit is provided.
