One of the most powerful, misunderstood and under-utilized tools for teaching 21st century skills, is the Creative Commons. Besides providing access to hundreds of thousands of media works that can be used to augment the creative process, the Creative Commons offers a legitimate way for students to license their own creative works, be they audio, video, text or hybrid products.

Great article Rod, thanks. Just a word of warning, as I was watching the 1st video there was an inline google advert at the bottom of it for pole-dancing parties!!
I'd be interested to know how they decide on which ads are best suited to which videos...
The video you noted does seem to get 'dance' ads to display regularly. I'm not sure how much I should or can police this?
Thanks to Mike Bogle for compiling Larry Lessig's talks on Free Culture, creativity, copyright and creative commons.
The MP3 file he created allows you to revisit Lessig's ideas anytime/anyplace.
