Authors, videographers, musicians, photographers, and almost anyone who creates materials and makes them publicly available has an alternative to standard copyright licensing: Creative Commons (CC). It is a tool that helps the creator display a licensing mark. The creator can assign a variety of rights for others to use his work--rights that are usually more permissive than copyright, but more restrictive than placing material in the public domain. CC makes sharing, reusing, remixing, and building on the creative works of others understandable and legal. While it has always been possible for a creator to grant rights for others to use his or her materials less restrictively than standard copyright's "All Rights Reserved," CC standardizes the process. This article discusses this relatively recent invention and its implications for K-12 education. (Contains 3 online resources.)
