As a teacher and as a student, it can often become difficult knowing when you can or cannot use a piece of media as part of one's newly created work. Even if one thinks he can use the media, there may be terms of use that are difficult to understand, leaving the person questioning how he can use it. One way to avoid confusion and potential legal ramifications is to use works licensed by Creative Commons. These licenses are specific, yet easy to understand, and works using the license will often clearly have the license description posted on the site. Below you will find a link to my Diigo Library, where I have posted bookmarks to five media libraries housing photos, sound clips, songs, and textbooks all licensed by Creative Commons. These licenses all vary, and are described in detail with each bookmark in my library. For further information about each media library and/or its license, click on the links to go directly to the source. Enjoy!
