Activity 7: Fair use, copyright, and introduction to using images | Teacher Challenge - 0 views

  • Introduction to copyright, fair use and using images in blog posts You can’t just use any image you like in a blog post. Why?  Because unless stated otherwise, the law automatically grants full “copyright” over any creative work a person makes.
  • I’m sure you’re probably thinking it is okay because as educators, we have a few more flexible rules, called “Fair Use”, to play by.  Fair use, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, means you may have more flexible copyright rules. The trouble is, most of the laws and rules that cover fair use and education were written well before the invention of the web.  They don’t apply to use of copyright material on the Internet.  Using copyright material leaves you open to copyright infringement. So what does this mean? You need to: Learn what images you are and aren’t allowed to use, and why. Learn how to attribute images you are allowed to use. Educate your students that you can’t just use any images off the Internet in their blog posts, show them how to source and attribute images they are allowed to use. Understanding digital copyright is an essential skill we need to understand and teach our students.  This post focuses on use of images.

  • I used to think blogging was an add-on. I didn’t realise that it can be seamlessly integrated into the classroom literacy program. I used to feel guilty about taking time away from my reading and writing curriculum. It was a light bulb moment for me when I realised that blogging is literacy; and an authentic and important style of literacy too. Now a day without blogging as part of my literacy block would be hard to imagine.

    There are online games for different ages, with the youngest at 7 years old. -------------------- The initial flash presentation gives some background to Cyberbullying. We used this successfully at the SITE.org conference and educators and students liked it a lot. This is a game format to teach the ideas of Cyberbullying. Go past the flash presentation to get even more information. Parry Aftab is a lawyer who is working with educators like me who have a concern that Cyberbullying is a stop sign to the use of the Internet. We created a workshop to share posters, and other resources for the SITE Conference. Bonnie Bracey Sutton Power of Us SiG Chair Digital Equity and Social Justice , SITE

  • Look at the Clustrmap and see if you can answer any of these questions. How many different countries have we had visitors from? What continents have we had the most visitors from? Have we had visitors from all seven continents? We have eight more weeks of school. How many visitors do you think we’ll get?

  • Using an iPod Touch in the Primary Classroom Posted by Mrs Kathleen Morris on Monday, August 8th 2011      2011 is the fourth year I’ve been using an iPod Touch in my classroom. My students enjoy using these hand held devices and they can be used to enhance student learning in many different areas. In this post I will describe how we set up our iPod Touches and how we use them. Funding In 2008, I was successful in applying for a DEECD Emerging Technologies Trial Grant. We purchase 8 iPod Touches and some professional development time. Since then, our school has budgeted to purchase a small number of iPod Touches. We generally buy our iPod Touches from BigW and get the lowest memory model. More than half of the classes at our large primary school now have an iPod Touch in their room (we also have a small number of iPads that we’re beginning to trial). Equipment A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • While our headphone splitter works well to share one iPod between 5 students when they are listening to stories, podcast or videos, activities that involve apps are better in a 1:1 or 1:2 situation. We have found one way to get around this. If a group of students were playing an app, they might take it in turns to have a go with the app while also engaged in another related activity. For example, students could be taking it in turns to play the app Wurdle, while other students play the Boggle board game.

  • http://www.apple.com/education/apps/ipodtouch-iphone.html
  • Sample Activities
  • Students listen to various stories.
  • How-to videos from the Howcast site have been stored on the iPod and students have followed the instructions to complete a task (eg. making origami). Tip: don’t let students on the Howcast site unsupervised.
  • Students have listened to songs and sequenced cards containing the lyrics to the song
  • Students listen to a recording of instructions which they must comprehend to draw something or complete a simple task.
  • Students have watched short videos
  • Student created videos and podcasts
  • Other Ideas Tom Barrett and his readers have put together this slideshow with other ideas about using the iPod Touch in the classroom.

    The following quote is from Teaching Generation Now techtoolsforteachers@gmail.com -- Sign up for their newsletter (and view archives) for more tips on how to use Scrublr (and many other tech tools) "Scrumblr is a free online tool that allows you to create a virtual whiteboard. This whiteboard can be accessed from multiple computers and used as a collaborative space for education. We like scrumblr because: ● it is free and extremely easy to use. ● no sign up is needed to create and collaborate on a scrumblr board ● only people with the URL link that you create can access the scrumblr. ● it has no ads. ● it provides the opportunity for students to be active in their learning, reflect, clarify, stay focussed and learn from one another. ● it lets participants be anonymous. ● it allows for students from all over the world to work together. ● it allows you to customise the name and setup of the scrumblr ● it has many uses across all age groups and subject areas. ● it allows for students who don't normally speak up in class to be involved in conversations about their learning"
