Video: Using the Creative Commons License




Mrs. Yollis tried a little experiment with her students. She posted her students' artwork, but put another person's name on each picture!

How does it feel when someone takes your work and doesn't credit you?


Here is a video made by former students. Their feelings are true today!

    Dear Mrs.Yollis' class,
    Hi, my name is patricedhayes@gmail.com and I currently attend college in Connecticut. I am studying to be a teacher. This blog caught my eye because this activity is a great social experiment. I loved that you made a video to go along with the blog. It helps me to better understand how each student felt when their work was put up under someone else's name. Thank you for sharing this experiment, I would love to use it in the future(but I will definitely credit Mrs. Yollis)!
