Free Technology for Teachers: 100 Ways to Use VoiceThread in Education - 5 views

  •  
    100 Ways to Use VoiceThread in EDU is the title of a collaborative effort to gather educators' ideas for using VoiceThread in the classroom. This site has a live Voice Thread where you can listen to educators as well as leave your own VT comment. It looks interesting. I just liked the idea of leaving a comment for others to listen to if they're interested.

    You're on a real VT kick, Alyn! :)
  •  
    Its like discovering Peanut Butter and Jelly for the first time...lol...I am excited only because I think it could be, or already is, used to aid in learning. And its fun.
  •  
    Thanks for posting-great place to find ideas or inspiratons-maybe for one of the projects :)
  •  
    So I guess its time for me to jump on the VoiceThread bandwagon. This is officially my next "exploration" project.
  •  
    Jennifer, Warning! Once you get on the bandwagon, you'll never want to get off....lol. :)

    This is a great tool to enhance interaction in the online classroom. It allows the creation of avatars with the addition of voice so you can interact with your students in ways that capture attention, motivate interaction and helps explain concepts to key audiences from varying perspectives.

    Wow, I really like this tool, seems like Voki could improve all kinds of classes, especially foreign language or reading classes for students that may get nervous speaking aloud. Is there a tool on the teacher's side though that prints out a report of the scores on the oral tests that the students spoke of? Just curious....thanks. (O:

#Twitter: A Pedagogical Tool in the High School Classroom: Articles, Books, Journals an... - 3 views

  •  
    This article describes a high school teacher's yearslong journey in introducing and managing Twitter in her classroom. She begins with this observation, "Students participated more readily when the tools they already used outside school were acceptable in the classroom," and then goes on to describe how she made school constituents comfortable with her adoption of the platform. This is followed by the actual ways in which she used it (announcements - sharing articles blogs - classtags - extension of class discussion- digital citizenship - Tweetdeck). She addressed one of my questions about her choice to use Twitter, sharing that it was the unreliability of the LMS that led her to use Twitter from sharing information at first, but over time, she observed many benefits such as clarity in writing through the mandatory economy. Even after the expansion to 280 characters, only 5% of tweets were longer than 140 words! One powerful takeaway was the experience of a long haired male student who had the experience of being listened to without judgment. Twitter in her experience allowed for marginalized voices to be heard.

Can you copyright the content you make with generative AI? | Descript - 6 views

  • because you can’t predict exactly what a generative AI tool will create, you can’t copyright it.
  • The Copyright Office equated the text prompts to telling an artist about an idea you have for a painting, then trying to copyright the work after they paint it.
  • That makes sense if all you provided the artist was ideas, because ideas are not protectable and the painter did the creative work that gives them “authorship,”

  • Lisa says she would’ve expected the Copyright Office to focus more on the nature of the inputs
  • how much human involvement does a creator have to exert over a machine to claim ownership of its output? 
  • This isn’t the first time the legal system has wrestled with that question. It first came up when cameras were invented; the argument then was that you couldn’t protect a photograph as your own, since the machine was the one capturing the image.
  • The Copyright Office, surprisingly, introduced this predictability standard instead.
  • He used the amusing analogy of Jackson Pollock, who made his art by flinging paint around and seeing what happened; nobody questioned his ability to copyright those works.
  • But in a more salient point for creators, the lawyer argued that the Copyright Office was “incorrectly focusing on the output of the tool rather than the input from the human.”
  • the best thing you can do is to be sure you’re employing as much human creativity in the process as possible.
  • This might mean writing prompts with as much detail as possible
  • A final note: as Lisa points out, the Copyright Office did indicate that if someone sufficiently modifies generated output, that could be protectable. So, If you’re using generative AI as a starting point — e.g., using ChatGPT to create a rough draft and then re-writing it for your own voice — be sure you document the changes you made before you try to file for copyright protection, and then explain it in the application.

    This is good information! AI has really opened up a lot of opportunities and resources, but it has also presented a lot of questions!

    This is good information regarding the use of generative AI. I concur with the author that AI-created information should be used as a starting point for developing instructional materials. It should not remove the instructional designer from the process. After all, they would be most knowledgeable about the instructional needs of their learners and the delivery methods available to them.

    Thanks for sharing this resource. It's super helpful for a project I'm working on right now.
