A fellow instructional tech director wrote me and asked,
I was looking through your webpage and found your handout for podcasting. I’ve just ordered a slew of Olympus 210’s and will be teaching Audacity in January. Can I use your handouts? Please!
I wouldn’t say no since these are shared under Creative Commons-ShareAlike-NonCommercial-Attribution. When I pointed that out, he wrote back:
What the “bleep” is the ShareAlike-NonCommercial-Attribution license?
As I laughed, it hit me that, sheesh, how many more conversations like this will I need to have about CC with educators? The number I came up with was depressing but also fun–ignorance is opportunity.
My two-second, rough-hewn response (what would you have said?) was:
ShareAlike= You can share this under the same conditions I shared it
with you.
NonCommercial=You can share it for educational purposes but you can’t
make money off of it.
Attribution=You have to give me credit for the work.
To which he replied:
Don’t worry about ShareAlike – I’m too lazy to change anything.Don’t worry about NonCommercial – Come on, Miguel, it ain’t THAT good!Don’t worry about Attribution – If there are any mistakes in it, I want you taking the blame.

You know, I might use these next semester as well – thanks for the reminder that they are there! I’d love to read your thoughts on drop.io if you have any for us – I may be using it extensively in my digital cultures class next semester.

What a hoot of a reply from him! Thanks for the afternoon chuckle, Miguel. Now I know where to send people who ask me about that CC license…straight to this post.
