After learning about Creative Commons, it made me realize the importance of copyright laws and making sure that I am properly using and citing resources I find from the computer.  I like that Creative Commons is a free and easy site to search through.  It is useful for finding resources to use in my classroom.  It is a licensing site, as well a resource tool.

I really enjoyed using this search engine and will definitely implement it into my teaching.  I will utilize this site to make sure that I am using images correctly off my computer to enhance student learning on a variety of topics we are studying in class.  For instance, I found a colorful map of the Native American Regions.  This will help my students see specifically where these groups were located in an appealing manner.  It is a great tool for history in order to show students what life looked like in the past.  It of course can be used in all subjects as well.
