**What** do you think we mean when we talk about someone’s creative work? //(Understand that the term includes all types of work that someone creates, including writing of all kinds, artwork, and photos, videos, and music).//

**Have** you ever used creative work you found online – for example, a photo or a poem – for personal use? //(You should name various ways you use the creative work of others – for example, using a photo in a school report, posting it on their Facebook page, or even forwarding it on their cell phone.)//

**When** you use creative work you find online, what considerations do you make about who made it, if any? //(What do you consider, if anything, before using material you find online. Think about how creators would want their work to be used. What would be okay? What would not be okay?)//

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 12pt;">Activity #2 **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 10pt;">**Re-Read** and think about these two key vocabulary words and definitions:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Fair Use:** The ability to use a small amount of someone’s creative work without permission, but only in certain ways
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Commercial Purposes:** A use in connection with a business, usually for profit
 * Understand** that fair use allows you to use only a small part of someone else’s creative work as part of something new. The work cannot be used for commercial purposes, and it can only be used in certain ways, which include:
 * schoolwork and education
 * news reporting
 * criticism or social commentary
 * comedy or parody
 * What** are some ways you might use creative work that would constitute fair use?
 * Which** ways wouldn’t be covered under fair use? //(Understnad that using a small amount of someone else’s work in a school report or the school paper would be fair use, while posting it on their blog or on a social networking site would not be fair use.)//

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Re-Read** and think about these three key vocabulary words and definitions: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 10pt;">**Write** up a summary of your answers from the above questions and post this summary in your Travel Logs under the discussion tab; "Intellegence Activities" and title the post; "**Respect Creative Work, Pt 2**".
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Copyright:** A law that protects you’re a creator’s ownership of and control over the work he or she creates, requiring other people to get you’re the creator’s permission before they copy, share, or perform that work
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Creative Commons:** A kind of copyright that makes it easy for people to copy, share, and build on someone’s creative work – as long as they give the creator credit for it
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px;">**Public** **Domain:** Creative work that’s not protected by copyright and is therefore free for you to use however one wants
 * When** you want to use someone’s creative work in a way that isn’t covered by fair use, you need to investigate its copyright status.
 * Imagine** you took a photo of your dog and posted it online. Because you are the creator, you own the copyright to this image. This means you have control over how other people use your photo. Copyright law is pretty strict, meaning that people will have to get your permission before they can copy, print, or use your work for any reason.

 * Activity #3**
 * However**, if you use a **Creative Commons license**, you give people more freedom to copy and share your photo. Some Creative Commons licenses even say it is all right to make money off of the photo, while others say it cannot be used for commercial purposes. People choose Creative Commons licenses because they offer more opportunities for other people to use and share their work

Go out to this site and look at examples of Creative Commons licenses at []).
 * Post** a summary paragraph of what you learned while visiting this website and post the summary on your Travel Logs under the discussion tab; "Intellegence Activities" and title the post; "**Creative Commons License**".
