Creating Content-Images

I have personal experience accessing videos and photos on Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, and other websites. I have used this for keeping caught up in the lives of my friends, entertainment, educational purposes, learning how-to, etc. I have downloaded some when necessary. Some I save for myself, and some I share with others.

I have personal experience uploading videos and photos to Facebook, Tumblr, and Youtube. All three of these are very easy to use as long as videos are formatted correctly and photos are small enough to upload easily. The use of most of these was just to show others. Sometime it was for educational purposes, like for this class and other classes where it was necessary to upload videos to share. 

"Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that develops, supports, and stewards legal and technical infrastructure that maximizes digital creativity, sharing, and innovation." The aim here is "realizing the full potential of the internet — universal access to research, education, full participation in culture, and driving a new era of development, growth, and productivity." This to me says that I can use photographs and videos that I find without getting in trouble for using them if it is helping people learn and grow in knowledge. For teachers this lifts a huge worry of copyright infringement from their shoulders and gives them more resources to be able to use in the classroom. (quotes from: creativecommons.org)
