An Invitation to ‘Share Alike’
We believe in sharing the merits of our titles. We want to work with artists and educators in exploring educational and creative opportunities for our content. We invite others to ‘share alike’ – to incorporate the content that we are sharing in a new work and then in turn have you share this new content in the same spirit.
We are making our resource material available for download to teachers, librarians, homeschoolers, and creatives from all corners. These will include Creative Commons Licensed media assets – PDF formatted versions of the titles, audio, animation, image files and sample learning plans.
To help us learn more about your group, help to identify different synergistic possibilities, and gain access to our growing resources, please take the time to fill out our questionnaire below.

From the Creative Commons web site:
"The idea of universal access to research, education, and culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws.
That someone is Creative Commons."
