Subtweeting: what is it, and how to do it well | Technology | The Guardian - 1 views

  •  
    Subtweeting requires a level of facility with Twitter that is beyond some novice users, but the truly mean-spirited subtweet can be a destructive force. It should be understood by teachers and parents in order to protect students if for no other reason.

    A deceptively simple set of questions school administrators (or any engaged stakeholder!) can use to evaluate the purpose and effectiveness of educational technology implementations. Influenced by the work of Marc Prensky and somewhat consistent with Welliver's Instructional Transformation model.

THE ORIGINAL Scary 'Mary Poppins' Recut Trailer - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    A superb example of "remixing" for popular culture content. While not, obviously, licensed for remixing (via Creative Commons or alternative), this parody (consistent with fair use of copyrighted materials) still showcases tactics involved in remixing (e.g., excerpting, re-sequencing, adding content elements) in a way that creates a new work from the old.

ImageStamper | Stay Copyright-safe - 0 views

  •  
    An intriguing beta release which allows you to log the Creative Commons-licensed images you've obtained from Flickr. While Creative Commons licenses are non-revocable, some have grown concerned that a copyright holder might change the CC status of images displayed on Flickr and fear that the burden of proof would then fall to themselves as the "user" of the image(s). This tool would seem to address that problem.

A Complete Guide to Finding and Using Incredible Flickr Images « Skelliewag.org - 0 views

  •  
    A very practical explanation of finding images that one is free to use via Creative Commons licenses via the image sharing site Flickr. Also included are concrete summaries of each specific license type. The author mistakenly refers to CC-licensed images as "non-copyrighted," but this is not accurate technically. A copyright owner may choose to license her work for reuse/remixing, but in doing so, she does not give up her copyright. Creative Commons exists with copyright not as an alternative to it.
