Teaching Copyright in the Age of Computers and Mashups | Edutopia - 9 views

  •  
    Lessons help students understand what's at stake with copyright.
  •  
    "I wish I could say that teaching students about copyright is easy, because in a world where digital tools are making creating and sharing content easier than ever, understanding copyright is incredibly important. But intellectual property law is exceedingly complex, making even a nominal introduction to the ideas surrounding copyright -- copyright law, fair use, the public domain -- a challenge. "

World Without Walls: Learning Well with Others | Edutopia - 6 views

    • Benita Van Der Wel
       
      Important note about whether we actually do students a disservice by supposedly sheltering them from the big, bad online world, or whether we miss a valuable learning opportunity to help them learn how to use the resources effectively, efficiently and safely.
    • Benita Van Der Wel
       
      Highlights exactly what 21C learning is all about.
  • the work we create and publish is assessed by the value it brings to the people who read it, reply to it, and remix it
    • Lilas Monniot-Kerr
       
      Digital posting are assessed by their worth, by what they bring to others (good or bad). What a radical new way of assessing material !!

  • In fact, we need to rely on trusted members of our personal networks to help sift through the sea of stuff, locating and sharing with us the most relevant, interesting, useful bits. And we have to work together to organize it all, as long-held taxonomies of knowledge give way to a highly personalized information environment.

      Sounds like the role of the TL to me.
  • But it does suggest that we as educators need to reconsider our roles in students' lives, to think of ourselves as connectors first and content experts second.

      The classroom teacher as guide on side rather than sage on stage.
  • Who is this person? What are her passions? What are her credentials? What can I learn from her?
    • nicollebrigden
       
      Just like they should authenticate a website, students should verify the quality of an online learning partner.
  • How do we manage our digital footprints, or our identities, in a world where we are a Google search away from both partners and predators? What are the ethics of co-creation when the nuances of copyright and intellectual property become grayer each day? When connecting and publishing are so easy, and so much of what we see is amateurish and inane, how do we ensure that what we create with others is of high quality?

      All worthy questions.

The Importance of Digital Citizenship in Social Media | Edutopia - 1 views

  • When you are presenting social media and digital responsibility, don't lecture your students on why it is bad to post inappropriate pictures on Facebook, but have them search for examples. Allow the students to not only find examples of inappropriate use, but also allow them to teach each other. Even though they have a Facebook account, do they really understand all that comes with Facebook? Do they understand their privacy rights on Facebook and other social media sites? Did they read the fine print?
  •  
    "While students and teachers alike are anxious to integrate new learning tools into the classroom, we must err on the side of caution. It is our responsibility to empower our students by giving them the fundamental lessons in digital citizenship. Like basketball, students must enter the world of social media and digital media with a good defense. They must understand the repercussions of irresponsibly using social and digital media and what affects it may have on their future."
