      Using eduCanon to embed questions into music videos is far more convenient than answering questions with simple pen and paper. If you aren't an eduCanon fan at the very least these sites are great resources for Spanish language music for interpretive activities.
  • Next, my recent favorite, eduCanon.

      Silent videos can be used to create an interpretive activity for any language. Simon's cat is a good resource for silent videos, the following link also has many great silent videos that work with developing emotional intelligence and creative writing: http://ineverycrea.net/comunidad/ineverycrea/recurso/10-cortometrajes-para-trabajar-la-educacion-emocio/0f46341c-920e-48da-8147-0656407da4f1

      Here is a great interpretive activity; having students use Twitter to convey how a song makes them feel or to write a ministory in 140 characters or less!

      I found this idea particularly insightful because I feel students must understand the main idea of the video fairly well to condense the theme into 140 characters!
  • First, let’s talk resources; here are some of my “go-to” music websites for Spanish. Feel free to add your own comments with additional sources that you like to use.
  • For #authres: Bilblioteca Musical: http://musicaenespanol.weebly.com/ LyricsTraining: http://lyricstraining.com/ Zambombazo {Cancionero}: http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/tag/cancionero/ TodoELE {Canciones}: http://www.todoele.net/canciones/Cancion_list.asp El Mundo Birch: http://elmundodebirch.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/spanish-music-database-updated/ Youtube {different channels}: https://www.youtube.com/ MTVTres: http://www.tr3s.com/ Los40: http://los40.com/ For non-natives/ELE: Rockalingua: http://www.rockalingua.com/ Senor Wooly: http://www.senorwooly.com/ Realidades I, II y III {Canciones de HipHop}
  • This tool can be used in any discipline, with any grade. What a neat way to begin class, end class or assign as an independent practice activity. By embedding music videos into eduCanon, the teacher can pose questions about the actual video or the music lyrics that may appear. Here is a sample video I created in English using a great silent film source: Simon’s Cat

      I find this idea very interesting. I might use a collection of music videos in eduCanon to work with students about vocabulary related to emotional states.

      I like the idea about using silent films like Simon Cat. Another source for silent films could be Charlie Chaplin.
  • -Have students describe how they feel when listening to the music, in #140charactersorless: write a mini story to go with the music & emotions, post to Twitter or a learning management site used {Edmodo, Schoology, Canvas, etc}, share their stories in small groups, collaborate using Google Docs to create a unique tale based on the music they hear, present their stories to the class {act it out, swap stories with another group, re-enact silently: have classmates reinvent the original story}

    Great resource for using Spanish language music videos and silent videos for interpretive activities, check out my sticky notes for more resources!

  • Because eduCanon uses HTML5, rather than Flash, playback works great on an iPad, too.

      This could be an advantage for Apple devices. Flash has occasional issues with Apple products.

      That's good to know. My students have a mixed bag of devices, and several have Ipads.
  • The first time students watch a video, they are unable to skip through the video; they have to watch the whole thing from start to finish and attempt every question.

      Love this feature. Like with reading, middle schoolers pick through material to find the answers. We can't glue them to their seats, but they never know where those questions will pop up and they can't look ahead to see what answers they need to find. Love that!
  • You paste in the URL of the video, then watch it play
    • klmcguinness

      According to another blog I was reading regarding licensing and sharing, if the "embed" function is operable the owner has endorsed (consciously or thru oversight?) sharing.

  • The answers people choose in a public video are not collected by eduCanon.

      Good to know to allay students' fears. Will they even think that their answers would be made public-probably not most MS students.
  • You can assign a video to the class, and then eduCanon collects data for you on your class’ completion of the task and their responses to your questions.
  • all of those features are 100% free

  • Using eduCanon, like other services similar to it, could be a good way to build introductory and review lessons for students. The option to track your students' progress is nice for anticipating the questions your students might bring to class and for seeing what you might need to review in-person with your students.

      This allows a more personalized face to face review of the flipped lesson, allowing more class-time for actual practice of the lesson.

      I think this is a great way to bring popular culture into the classroom.  TV shows provide a more authentic representation of language than educational videos.

  • This may seem obvious, but judging by the notices we have received, many teachers (and especially students) are under the impression that if it is on the web, then it is up for grabs.

      This is protocol in my classroom-they may as well learn it right the first time rather than the hard way later. When using Google images: go all the way to the cog wheel pull down on the right side of the toolbar; 2) go down to Advance Search; 3) inside Advanced Image Search, all the way at the bottom is a pulldown for usage rights, select "free to use or share" or, if you need to alter the image in anyway "fee to use share or modify." 
  • That is, in some cases, if an image, text, video, etc. is being used for educational purposes, there might be more flexible copyright rules.

      Just yesterday I was watching a webinar from a national organization, and on one of the PowerPoint pages I saw a picture of one of my district's students with his PE teacher. I was shocked and wondered how it came to be in this webinar. I can only guess that there was a newpaper article with this picture in the local paper, and that put it out there on the web, and it was found and inserted into this PowerPoint. I also thought it was pretty cool - one of ours in something like that. It was crazy just happening upon it like I did though.
  • But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you’ve scanned to the web!

      This is a biggie! I know of some teachers who upload all their homework handouts in .pdf format. I can think of only one who might have asked permission to do so. But, why bother buying that textbook's workbook if I can download it from another district for free. I can certainly see publishers having issue with that.

      Keeping this one bookmarked for future reference.
  • If only that were true.
  • copyright holders to give you (and the host of your site, such as Edublogs, WordPress, etc.) an official notification.

      Another important website to keep handy!
  • You are free to embed any video from YouTube, Vimeo, WatchKnowLearn, etc. on your blog or website as long as it gives you the embed option.

      This answers my earlier question about using a video in eduCanon. Seemed really wrong to do that, but guess it is understood when you upload if you allow others to borrow, they will.

      I guess that's why on some music videos, there is a statement that there is no ownership in the content? I don't know. I also bookmarked this article as I know I will need it as time goes on.

    This is a great explanation. Thank you for posting it. Any idea about the legality of editing YouTube videos with eduCanon?
