“best practices” “doesn’t constitute not legal advice”
“may or may not” “legal obligation”
“we cannot tell you if that is commercial or not”
The problem…
“Why would bother with all of this Creative Commons nonsense; even images marked with the license are clearly not...”
“Listen… I understand what you are trying to accomplish here but I am 100% sure that nobody is going to come after me for using any materials I want in a classroom.”
So what?

Who owns the materials? The teacher? The district?
Do you want materials to be remixed and adapted?
Do you want to allow end users to profit off the use of the materials?
Do you want to restrict their future licensing in the future?
Six licenses for sharing your work
Creative Commons makes sharing easy
What Is Creative Commons?Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting an open and accessible internet that is enriched with free knowledge and creative resources for people around the world to use, share, and cultivate.
Our easy-to-use licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you change your copyright terms from the default of “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”
Millions of people use CC licenses on some of the world’s most popular platforms for user-generated content. When you use a CC license to share your photos, videos, or blog, your creation joins a globally accessible pool of resources that includes the work of artists, educators, scientists, and governments.
Creative Commons has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this guide using the CC0 Public Domain Dedication.
The internet makes it easy for people to share and build on each other’s creations. But sometimes the law makes it hard.
Whenever you snap a photograph, record a song, publish an article, or put your original writing online, that work is automatically considered “all rights reserved” in the eyes of copyright law.
In many cases, that means that other people can’t reuse or remix your work without asking for your permission first.
But what if you want others to reuse your work?
If you want to give people the right to share, use, and even build upon a work you’ve created, consider publishing under a Creative Commons license.
A CC license lets you decide which rights you’d like to keep, and it clearly conveys to those using your work how they’re permitted to use it without asking you in advance.
Our free, easy-to-use licenses provide a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use your creative work — on conditions of your choosing. CC licenses let you easily change your copyright terms from “all rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”
Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright. By default, copyright allows only limited reuses without your permission. CC licenses let you grant additional permissions to the public, allowing reuse on the terms best suited to your needs while reserving some rights for yourself.
We’ve collaborated with copyright experts around the world to ensure that our licenses work globally.
If you are looking for content that you can freely and legally use, there is a wealth of CC-licensed creativity available to you. There are hundreds of millions of works—from songs and videos to scientific and academic material—available to the public for free and legal use under the terms of our licenses, with more being contributed every day.
Step 1: Choose License FeaturesPublishing under a Creative Commons license is easy. First, choose the conditions that you want to apply to your work.
Attribution All CC licenses require that others who use your work in any way must give you credit the way you request, but not in a way that suggests you endorse them or their use. If they want to use your work without giving you credit or for endorsement purposes, they must get your permission first.
ShareAlikeYou let others copy, distribute, display, perform, and modify your work, as long as they distribute any modified work on the same terms. If they want to distribute modified works under other terms, they must get your permission first.
NoDerivsYou let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only original copies of your work. If they want to modify your work, they must get your permission first.
NonCommercialYou let others copy, distribute, display, perform, and (unless you have chosen NoDerivs) modify and use your work for any purpose other than commercially unless they get your permission first.
Step 2: Get a LicenseBased on your choices, you will get a license that clearly indicates how other people may use your creative work.

Attribution (BY) is the least restrictive license
If you are a teacher…
1. Check with your district on materials ownership/permission to release resources as open resources.
2. Be certain that you are vetting OER materials you are using before you release and mind the restrictions.
3. Confirm and verify what any place that you release your materials is also putting your correct license choice in association with your materials.
If you are an administrator…
1. Learn with your staff to make sure that they understand the reason for openly releasing materials before they do so.
2. Pull teachers into the decision of which license to use, but make an institutional decision.
3. Check to see how your materials are used elsewhere (ask for an email!).
4. Share successes with your staff to encourage future development.
5. Develop specific guidance and workflow on HOW licenses are displayed and where materials are released.

Freedom to Crea0ve Engaging Learning Environments
Mindfulness to the legal and philosophical restric0ons of open
licenses
Perfectly okay to acknowledge that this is complex… Perfectly okay to acknowledge complexity exists in this discussion…
Does your use case create limit what materials you can use base
on license?
How can you cite the appropriate materials?
Do you and your teachers have the nuanced skills to iden0fy
mislabeled materials?
Are you minding other academic requirements?

Provide a style guide for teachers (and students)
Follow up when observing teachers to help determine their
correct use
Remember that other obliga0ons might exist for academic cita0on
Encourage teachers, project par0cipants and students to log
media/license use
Start with ve8ed photo lists; you can always go back and add later.
Avoid Google Images/Bing Images unless you have a nuanced eye for
it.
If you are working as a teacher or with teachers on a project, always
do proof-‐of-‐concept samples
If it is too good to be true, perhaps it is… J
