Since I’m preparing to be a mathematics teacher, use of web content won’t be a big issue for me. Use of the web will mostly occur as visits to web sites, typically interactive, where students can use the content, but they won’t need to copy the content. Lesson plans abound on the web, and I intend to use them. But they won’t be published, and they won’t necessarily be used in their entirety. The Pythagorean Theorem is automatically credited to its creator. Who does “3 + 3” belong to on the mathematinet?
My responsibility with Creative Commons and its development, support, and stewardship of “legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation” is to spread the word as a teacher, to inform students and others that the content on the web is not free for the taking. We each have a responsibility to support the Creative Commons mission and work toward its vision of “realizing the full potential of the Internet – universal access to research, education, full participation in culture, and driving a new era of development, growth, and productivity.” Refer to About Creative Commons for more details.
