where we want to go, but rather in
staying upright as we go there...
The important questions aren!t about
whether these tools will spread or reshape
society, but rather how they do so.”
- Clay Shirky, Here Comes Everybody

72. Some Take Away Points
• CC gives you options beyond ARR
copyright
• CC addresses the right of the creator
who wants to be part of a sharing
culture
• Our students participate in this
sharing culture everyday
• We participate in this sharing culture
as educators and lifelong learners
