[edit] Sharing
“The most important word on the internet is not ‘Search’. The most important word on the internet is ‘Share’. Sharing is the driver. Sharing is the DNA. We use Social Objects to share ourselves with other people. We’re primates. We like to groom each other. It’s in our nature.” -Hugh MacLeod (http://www.gapingvoid.com)

[edit] Copyright 101
Listening to somebody speak on copyright law in education is almost as fun as bloodborne pathogens training.
Copyright is complicated. Many educators simply claim "fair use", try to hide behind "it's for the kids'", and don't want to think hard about the implications. Layer the ease of use with new digital technologies that makes breaking the law orders of magnitude easier. Copyright becomes a very messy topic. What if, rather than playing by the law, we just bypassed it all together? This session explores the role Creative Commons plays in the digital copyright landscape. Creative Commons allows content producers and content consumers to expressly waive traditional copyright and share their creativity in a more flexible manner. This session will share strategies for finding Creative Commons licensed images, audio, and classroom content.

[edit] User Generated Content & "Read Only" vs. "Read/Write" Culture
"Read/write culture" is a term employed by Lawrence Lessig to describe a society which allows and encourages derivative works. Such a culture would be, by default, permissive of efforts to improve upon, change, integrate, or otherwise remix the work of copyright holders. "Read only culture" refers to a permission based culture.

What is the Library of Congress?
We serve as the national library for the United States, based in Washington, DC. With more than 134 million items preserved on some 530 miles of bookshelves, we're also the world's largest library.
In addition to books, we have photos, maps, databases, movies, sound recordings, sheet music, manuscripts, and information in many other formats. Millions of items are online, and the full array of collections is available in DC, right across from the U.S. Capitol building
What are photographs doing in a library? We've been acquiring photos since the mid-1800s when photography was the hot new technology. Because images represent life and the world so vividly, people have long enjoyed exploring our visual collections. Looking at pictures opens new windows to understanding both the past and the present. Favorite photos are often incorporated in books, TV shows, homework assignments, scholarly articles, family histories, and much more.
The Prints & Photographs Division takes care of 14 million of the Library's pictures and features more than 1 million through online catalogs. Offering historical photo collections through Flickr is a welcome opportunity to share some of our most popular images more widely.

Abraham Lincoln
Image:Abraham Lincoln.jpg
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the List of Presidents of the United States|sixteenth President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1861 until his death on April 15, 1865. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of History of slavery in the United States|slavery, he won the Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.
Lincoln's leadership qualities were evident in his close supervision of the victorious war effort, especially in his selection of Ulysses S. Grant and other top generals. Historians conclude that he handled the factions of the Republican Party brilliantly by bringing its leaders into his cabinet and forcing them to cooperate. In crisis management, he defused a war scare with the United Kingdom (1861), he outmaneuvered the Confederacy and took control of the border slave states in 1861 – 1862, and he managed his own landslide reelection in the United States presidential election, 1864|1864 presidential election.
