This is a great list of resources. Thanks for posting!
Great blog, excellent post. I'm sending your blog out for staff to subscribe to. Thanks for this post!
I just found a neat public domain video repository: http://public.resource.org/ntis.gov/
Don't miss out on the directory at Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies -- over 2,700 tools, many are free:

Dear Rodd,
thanks for listing,
best wishes from Berlin, Germany,
Martin
Thanks for the post. Found a few more helpful resources to share with my students. If we want our students to think and behave ethically regarding fair use of media, we need to equip them with tools and alternatives, don't we.
I would LOVE to use Deviant Art, but I can't see anything to support it being CC licensed. Is there a section that IS CC? What am I missing?
Content at Deviant Art is generally not CC licensed, though some works may be. I've used this site in past presentations to share examples of works that build upon one another and to discuss 'fair use'.
Thank you for sharing what your critical eye has noticed. I have just removed Deviant Art from this list to avoid misinterpretation by others.
Thanks for explaining, Rodd. I'd love it if Deviant Art had a way of finding content that is CC licensed, because there is such amazing art work there.
One of my favourite ways to find CC pics was Sprixi http://www.sprixi.com/ and they watermarked it with an attribution. Brilliant! But they are still "taking a break".
Thank you for a list of resources that educators might share with students as a starting point for all manner of creative projects! By the way, have you ever prepared spring writing paper for kids? Was it easy?
