Here are some videos on the concept of Creative Commons

 

Copyright free; Introduction to Creative Commons

This video gives a good overview of copyright and how the Creative Commons licenses work.
It’s about 4 minutes long and the presentation style should be appealing to the students.

 

Simple Creative Commons image search


Use: http://www.google.com/advanced_image_search

This is a follow-up to the one above and it takes the next step to show how to locate and cite
creative commons images.  It focuses on Google’s Advanced Image Search features. Stay with it to the
end because it gives a good explanation of how to check the Creative Commons licenses for any image and how to
properly cite the image.    

 

Copyright and Creative Commons Overview

This site provides a short video that describes the differences between copyright and Creative Commons licenses.  If you scroll down below the video, there is some helpful documentation about the license codes too.


Creative Commons Video

This one has a montage of interesting Creative Commons licensed images and clips that explain how Creative Commons licensing works for the creator of the work.  The presentation is done well with lots of visual appeal.  This definitely is intended for anyone who in considering licensing their own work and may be of interest to the students as they produce their own work. 

CC

Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web.
The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user.
To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.
That someone is Creative Commons.
