CR.5 Create “Open” Content

Increasing the amount of open content through creation, advocacy, etc.

In My Life

I can post photographs I've taken to open photo repositories so others have the ability to freely find and use my photographs in materials they create.

In My Work

I can create and share open-access tutorials, guides, or documentation with coworkers.

In My Education

I can help a friend choose a Creative Commons license to apply to their digital content.

As a Teacher/Trainer

I can apply sharing settings to documents I create (slides, lesson plans, etc.) that allow others to view, save, and make copies.
