April is poetry month
Posted by karen on March 17, 2008 in Uncategorized
April is poetry month and to celebrate, here are some open resources for poetry:
- Librivox poetry recordings
- Spoken Alexandria poetry
- Project Gutenberg poetry
- Poetry in Wikibooks
- Quotes about poetry from Wikiquote
- MIT courses on poetry
- Poetry ebooks for K-12 from K12 Handhelds
Enjoy!
This is also a good time to remind our colleagues of some of the basics of copyright. (I have been in three classrooms in the past couple weeks where teachers have been astounded to learn that everything on the Internet is *not* free for them to use however they want.)
Teachers need to know that:
- Everything (on the Internet, in print, etc.) that is not otherwise licensed is copyrighted and may not be used or distributed beyond the bounds of fair use without permission.
- There are materials that are public domain or Creative Commons (or similarly) licensed that may be reused.
- Licensing your own works under Creative Commons is a great way to facilitate sharing and permit others to use your work.
