The Educator's Guide to Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons | The Edublogger - 0 views

  • The legal jargon with respect to digital copyrights can be confusing – especially since different countries have their own laws and regulations. With this post, we hope to dispel a few myths and pull together a complete list of resources for teachers and students to use when blogging and working with content online.
  • Rule #1: You Can’t Use Everything You Find On the Web
  • Rule #2: There Are Resources You CAN Use
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The trouble is, most of the laws and rules that cover fair use and education were written well before the invention of the web.
  • But make sure to check specific copyright restrictions before uploading anything you’ve scanned to the web! For more, check out the Fair Use FAQ for Educators here from the excellent resource site, TeachingCopyright.org.
  • What Can Be a Violation? Here are the most common types of content that we have been contacted about and asked to remove on our blogs: Images – mostly found through google image search Curriculum docs – especially handouts and student activities Text and quotes – copy/pasted from other websites (even with a link or attribution it still may not be legal) Music – usually mp3s that students have uploaded to share on their blogs

Free Technology for Teachers: Try WeVideo to Create and Edit Videos Online - 2 views

  • I discovered and tried WeVideo as an alternative to JayCut which was bought out and subsequently closed by RIM. At that time WeVideo was in a beta phase. Last week they opened to the world. Now anyone can create and edit videos online using WeVideo. WeVideo is a collaborative online video creation tool. In the video editor you can upload your own media clips or use stock media clips to produce your video. The video editor provides tools for trimming the length of display and or sound of each element you add to your video project. What makes WeVideo collaborative is that you can invite other people to create and edit with you. WeVideo offers four different user plans. The free plan allows you to upload your videos to YouTube and Vimeo but does not allow local downloads.

A Sticking Plaster Mentality to Open Web Access in Schools | edte.ch - 2 views

  •  
    Great discussion on keeping content open or not. -- For bandwidth issues, I wonder what would happen if it would help if they became part of the solution by educating everyone on why there are issues when streaming and that's part of netiquette ****This would be a cool service learning PBL -- but students (via teachers) would have to come up with the solutions

    Also see: http://www.relayforlife.org/learn/relayforeveryone/studentrelays/relay-recess "How can your students become superheroes in the fight against cancer? Relay Recess brings Relay For Life to elementary schools nationwide. It provides students, teachers, and administrators the opportunity to become heroes in their own communities. It also brings cancer education and community service to the classroom in a fun and exciting way. It also engages elementary school students in the fight against cancer through fundraising activities that support cancer programs and services in every community. It gives students the chance to get out of the classroom and have fun with entertainment and activities that reinforce what they have learned. Because the program is so flexible, it's different at every school and is an excellent opportunity to showcase unique qualities about your school and your community."
