Hrmmmm.... why would you possibly use a Creative Commons License with your students? Here's what I'm thinking...
I think it's important for younger students to understand the basics of copyrights and plagiarism and I think the Creative Commons license fits nicely into that discussion with your students. It's important that by the time students get to high school that they know how to use sources without copying them and how to give credit. They should also know where to find things that they can use for free and with permission such as music and images. This will continue to help them in post secondary also.
Whenever you ask your students to complete a project where they will need to add images to something or music or video, encourage them to use the Creative Commons tools to find what they need. You could even encourage them to license their own work in some cases.
