Creative Commons for North Shore Schools

Date: 11/07/2011 - 11/07/2011

The Northern Education Access Loop are hosting two workshops on 11 July 2011 as part of weCreate's efforts to provide Creative Commons information to New Zealand school leaders.

Information from NEAL about this workshop

Concerned that your students (and teachers!?) are breaching copyright laws? How is it possible to not breach these laws in an age where media consumption is present in almost every aspect of our lives? How do these policies affect the way students research, gather, and synthesise information?

Find out! Pinpoint exactly what Creative Commons means for your school and its policies on intellectual property.

Jane Hornibrook from Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand and Ian Munro from the Ministry of Education will present.

This session will cover topics set out by the weCreate initiative: wikieducator.org/WeCreate/Resources

Please note there are two separate times.

Session One is 1.30 - 3.00 pm, Session Two is 3.30 - 5.00 pm.

So, just what is Creative Commons?

Creative Commons aims to realise the full potential of the Internet. It provides a range of copyright licences, freely available to the public, which allow those creating intellectual property – including authors, artists, educators and scientists – to mark their work with the freedoms they want it to carry.

Digital technologies offer new opportunities for making and accessing creative work of all kinds, and digital self-publishing is rapidly expanding across the world - from musicians, filmmakers and designers to universities, museums and libraries.
