Thing 8. Creative Commons

Creative commons is a gold mine of electronic media. I was amazed by the amount of resources available for creators. I am into the Graphic Design and Multimedia, and being able to use clip art, pictures, videos, music, lessons, is very motivating.

We are living an era where the visual factor is more important than ever. With the help of technology, we are able to become developers. And Creative commons makes it easier and safer to use resources to enrich our media. Weather if you want to create lessons, websites, electronic newsletters, blogs, etc., you have to think of your viewer, your receptor, you want to give them a visually attractive product, dynamic and fun. Of course you also have to take care of what you want to say, because you don't want to create something hollow. That is, we want to take care of WHAT we want to communicate, as well as HOW we want to communicate it.
