=**Sourcing Content to Teach and Learn With**=

With so many great resources already out there on the net, why re-invent the wheel? There are stacks of great activities and information waiting for you to link together into a fun learning experience! When sourcing your content, be careful to check the copyright statement of the content before you attempt to use it. Creative Commons.org has made this usually painful process darn easy! Look for a creative commons logo or statement and read the statement attached to it (For example, check out the statement linked at the bottom of this page). Here's our current list of quality resources (please add/update as you like.)

Reference material and subject articles

 * [|Wikipedia] - The worlds biggest encyclopedia, and it's free! Usually the articles are excellent with lots of links to external sites/journals, you can reuse them as you see fit. The best bit is, you can improve the articles in your area of expertise! Compare that with [|Encyclopedia Britannica] where you can access great information but according to the [|terms of use], you cannot reproduce or retransmit the material without prior permission.
 * [|google scholar] - A google search dedicated to published journal articles!

Multimedia resources

 * [|Internet Archive] - The Internet Archive is an amazing effort. Apart from offering storage to all types of media, they also actively save everything that appears on the Internet! Can you imagine how big their hard drives must be? So, if there is a website you used to use a couple of years ago, but its off line now, simple, just go to the Archive and use their "Way Back Machine" to find it! How cool is that!
 * [|Wikimedia] - The **Wikimedia Commons** is a project that provides a central repository for [|free] images, music, sound & video clips and, possibly, texts and spoken texts, used in pages of any [|Wikimedia] project. Unlike images uploaded on other projects, images on Commons [|can be embedded] on pages of all Wikimedia projects.
 * [|OurMedia] - Linked the the Internet Archive, OurMedia offers free storage space for people looking to distribute media such as movies, audio track, documents and things not yet thought up! You can search ourmedia easily, and most of the content is available to the Creative Commons. If you like the service, you might like to start storing your own content there. Its a great place to run into other teachers doing the same thing.
 * [|Google Video] - Google has been offering free and unlimited storage of video content for a while now. They no doubt have big plans for searching video content! Imagine, you put in a search for 'blended learning' and not only does it come back with a list of videos that refer to the topic, but timecodes pointing the exact spot within the video where blended learning is mentioned! Its not like that yet, but it is quite likely that that's what Google has in mind.
 * [|Blip.tv] Is another free video streaming web service. Many users are uploading videos licensed with Creative Commons.
 * [|YouTube] is easily the biggest and most popular video site. Pop in there, do a search on your topic and see what comes up. There are some very useful things there, and code is offered for cutting and pasting the video so that it displays in your blog or other type of website.
 * [|Podcast Alley] - Find interviews, seminars, conversations and just about anything audio on almost any topic.
 * [|Podcast Net] - Find more audio
 * [|Podcast Directory] - And more audio
 * [|Phonecasting Podcast Directory] - Find more audio and video.
 * [|CCMixter] - A music remix site that tracks samples across different artists, all available under sampling licenses so that you too can join in the mix.
 * [|OpSound] - Features a pool of Creative Commons licensed audio.
 * [|FreeSound] - A collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds.
 * [|Research Channel] - free streaming video on all sorts of topics.
 * [|Howtoons] - great source of comic based learning activities for 7 - 15 year olds (older actually, I dig'm and I'm 30!)
 * [|Public Domain Images] Several thousand copyright friendly images nicely organized in categories, free for any personal and/or commercial use, credit or back link is not required.
 * [|Flickr pictures licensed Creative Commons] - With millions of people loading up their pictures to Flickr, and many of them licensed to a Creative Commons license, you are quite likely to find an interesting image on almost any topic.
