Creating Content-Images

     I have had a lot of use and experience with both uploading and viewing photos and videos online.  These are features that I have been using both personally and educationally since I was either in late middle school or high school.  Just through college classes and doing teacher educational portfolios uploading photos has been crucial.  As well as personal websites like myspace and facebook where everyone uploads photos and views others photos.  Even in Dr. Templar's class two weeks ago we were uploading photos from the camera in order to use tools like Picasa, Animoto, and iMovie along with others.  Most students in school will already be able to upload photos and videos so using this in the classroom will be something they already know and can be an effective tool to use. 
     Creative Commons is a place to set up legal sharing and creating using digital media tools.  The idea of having a creative commons area for teachers is that it gives a place to set up and share lectures, papers, and lesson plans as well as collaborating with others.  This is a place that makes work by others legal to use and view and so having a place like this for use in the classroom would really help with the problem of copyrighting.
