Station #2: I think it's very important for students to obviously understand ethics of appropriating others' work, intellectual freedom, and copyright from the perspective of a consumer. I find that students don't often get a chance to copyright their own work--which is not only very empowering, but also integral to supporting and spurring on "make"-oriented and connected learning. We want students to become producers of content, and as creators, they need to know their rights. I like Creative Commons a lot because it is community/collective focused--not so much "this is mine, all mine" but more "this is mine and I'd love for you to use it."
Station #3: As we ask students to be mindful and aware of the law, it's critical that we understand our rights and how to operate in a legal manner.
Station #1: There are still lots of questions about copyright and organizations like Creative Commons. Even though CC is supposed to help us cover out butts, it's still slightly vague as to where these organizations get this permission--it's kind of nebulous.
