I took a short cut and just googled "23 Things Original" and found this page. The header includes "If you are interested in duplicating or modifying this program for your organization, please see Program Notes on About Page and contact Helene Blowers for information." This, to me, shows that 23 Things was created by someone else and made available for modification. On APSU's own 23 Things About Page it states "Learning 2.0 - 23 Things for Teachers is based on Learning 2.0 - 23 Things. That program is based on the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers, Technology Director at the Charlotte Mecklenburg County Public Library system, with the support and assitance of several staff. Helene's program was loosely based upon Stephen Abram's article, 43 Things I (or You) might want to do this year (Information Outlook - Feb 2006) and the website 43Things."
Now that I know about Creative Commons I will be even more aware of copyright. I will pay attention to what I'm going to use to make sure I'm using it in the proper manner so that I won't open up myself, the school, or the school system up for any liability. It's great to know exactly where to go to find sources and what tags to search for when I'm on sites researching material for lesson plans.
