Today I learned some stuff about copyright laws and the Creative Commons. In regards to the classroom a teacher is not allowed to show a video without getting the proper "public performance rights". This means that if you'd like to show a YouTube video or something similar, you have to be sure that is has a Creative Commons license, or a CC, that allows that type of distribution; the standard YouTube license will not do. The six licenses that the Creative Commons outline allows content producers to declare how their products are used by others. The four licenses I learned about are: attribution, non-commercial use, share alike, and no derivatives.
Here is an example of a piece of content that requires "attribution" in order to be used.
