Digital Citizenship and Creative Commons Project

The Digital Citizenship project was a great experience in creating content that expresses what we learned in a different style than a traditional class. By actively researching and creating content about digital citizenship I was able to learn in an active way and demonstrate that understanding through my work. Working in teams with different people I had not worked with before was a good experience that taught me how to work in groups and bounce ideas off others. We all had a goal of creating the end product our group was assigned and we worked together to reach that end. In the end our class created a very good resource by working together and focusing on exploring the topic through research and creation. The Creative Commons potion of the project was also informative. I interviewed a student who creates his own music and uploads it to some websites. He used Creative Commons and shared his views on how it allows him to share his work with others and remix other's work into something new using Creative Commons. He had a different perspective as someone who has used CC licenses to his advantage.
