Share your resource about CC

Week 7: Share your resource about CC

Since in Portugal the classes only began this week, it was not possible to show students the presentation that I performed and discuss the CC licenses with them. However, the blog created for this course will be continued and will be the starting point to discuss with the whole school community the importance of Creative Commons licenses.
Anyway, all years I discuss with my students the importance of licenses and they always show a big surprise with some examples that I usually bring to the classroom about people with law problems because they used work from others without attribution or correct licenses.
Only next week will be available this presentation for my school community. After that I will see their reactions.
One of the main problems in Portugal is the fact that only a few teachers talked with their students about the importance of autor rights and about the existing licenses available. Portugal need more teachers and other stakeholders training others to increase the knowledge about this subject.
I will continue to contribute training people of my school community and I will propose training sections every months.

Share your work

Week 5: Share your work

In this link http://www.casadasciencias.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=search_result&Itemid=23&search_phrase=sergioleal20%20S%C3%A9rgio%20Carreira%20Leal&search_mode=all&ordering=newest I have posted earlier a resource for teaching chemistry platform "Casa das Ciências" ("House of Sciences" in english), it was only after review by experts is that is published on the platform.
The evaluation process takes some time and this month I sent more resources with CC BY-NC-SA license and they are currently being evaluated, but will not receive a response during this course.

At this time the classes have not yet started in Portugal but the previous resource has been used by myself and other teachers in the classroom.
The feedback from other teachers who used the resource that I built was very positive and only one teacher changed the resource to be more adapted to their students.
