Online K-12 Schooling in the U.S. | National Education Policy Center - 0 views

  •  
    Abstract: Over just the past decade, online learning at the K-12 level has grown from a novelty to a movement. Often using the authority and mechanism of state charters, and in league with home schoolers and other allies, private companies and some state entities are now providing full-time online schooling to a rapidly increasing number of students in the U.S. Yet little or no research is available on the outcomes of such full-time virtual schooling. The rapid growth of virtual schooling raises several immediate, critical questions for legislators regarding matters such as cost, funding, and quality. This policy brief offers recommendations in these and other areas, and the accompanying legal brief offers legislative language to implement the recommendations.

    Eyes are on "the UCLA case," where a university has been sued because it undertook to provide video streams on campus without asking permission from the video rights holders. The case is not likely to be definitive but it raises important questions: What constitutes classroom use of a film? Can an institution sign away its fair use rights? Who is responsible for providing the infrastructure for streaming media distribution at an educational institution?

The Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons - The Edublogger - 3 views

  • 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.

      Well, that's a relief, huh?!

      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.
  • CreativeCommons.org website

      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?

How to Use Media to Enhance Teaching and Learning - 2 views

  • social media can also be used to enhance teaching and learning and it includes varied online technology tools that allow people to communicate easily via the internet to share information and resources.
  • demonstrations focused on contrasting cases help students achieve expert-like differentiation
  • Start small. Find one movie, song, or news source and incorporate it into your class. Expand once you are comfortable. Provide a clear link between what you want your students to learn and the media. Care must be taken provide the proper learning context. It takes time to integrate media effectively into a course. This is not edutainment, it is the conscious use of media to enable students to learn more. Use the subtitles feature for visual media. This is especially useful in focusing student attention on the words being said. Be prepared. Technology does not work 100% of the time so have a back up plan. If the media equipment does not work, go to plan B and continue on with your class without missing a beat. Evaluate student understanding. Students respond to incentives. If you require them to write a reaction paper, take a quiz, or place questions on your exams that relate to the media content they will pay more attention and learn more in the process. Stay legal.
