This post (from a royalty-free stock database) summarizes acceptable and unacceptable practices for the fair use of music. Topics include sheet music, research, recordings, and copies. There are also links to related topics, e.g. copyright law, Creative Commons licensing, rules of fair use, etc.

No todos están de acuerdo con el "Fair Use", algunos creen que deben cobrar por todo el contenido en la red. .. Don Rupert Murdoch no está de acuerdo con la idea del "fair use" y agregó que muchas veces es usado como pretexto para robar noticias ...

This is a gread read! I`m not sure if it`s been shared before now, so apologies in advance if it has.

I think the most interesting part of the report is from page 82 on. Is more related to connected or collaborative learning and gives concrete examples with tools used on different projects.

1. Talk things through Start a discussion on any topic, and bring in the right people. Share diverse perspectives and develop ideas together. 2. Build agreement Anyone can propose a course of action. People can agree, abstain, disagree, or block - so you can see how everyone feels, and why.

Romualdo Maestre, periodista de ABC, publicó una imagen que pretendía demostrar que yihadismo e independentismo catalán son lo mismo. Sin embargo, esta instantánea era trucada, por lo que el comunicador fue duramente criticado. Luego de publicar el tuit que aparece en la parte posterior, el periodista fue inmediatamente increpado por los internautas, que descubrieron que la imagen era trucada.

No se conformo con compartir una foto trucada si no que al retirar la primera publico otra peor.

The story of Aaron Swartz, incredible programmer and activist for internet rights, open access and open knowledge. Good documentary to learn a little more about the open access movement, see some important figures (Tim Berners-Lee, Lawrence Lessig, etc.) and the fight against the SOPA bill.

Resumen: Medios tradicionales, redes sociales, reporteros, nuevos medios, blogue- ros, periodismo ciudadano, prensa en papel, contenido generado por el usuario, medios ciudadanos... Todo está cambiando en la era digital: la industria musical, la cinematográfica, la manera de informar e informarnos y, cómo no, los medios de comunicación. Conocer y saber qué está cambiando en este nuevo ecosistema mediático es imprescindible para innovar y afrontar esos retos con ciertas garantías. En este libro nos adentramos en el periodismo ciudadano, en la participación de los usuarios como generadores de información, convertidos ahora en creadores de sus propios medios(ciudadanos). La antigua audiencia pasiva ahora es activa: los usuarios se pueden informar unos a otros, tanto a nivel global como en los ámbitos más locales, haciendo un uso intensivo de las herramientas tecnológicas que tienen a su alcance, a través del gran canal de distribución que es Internet. Esta es una de las razones por las que los ciudadanos, implicados en tareas informativas (periodistas ciudadanos), se han convertido en el quinto poder, en los vigilantes del cuarto poder

In the coming years, EF will work with institutions that want to adopt the EFSET as a formal English certification test, thereby helping millions of students and employees. This looks interesting, I wonder what kind of adoption rate we will see. It could really be a disruptor.

There were limitations on the extents of knowledge and action related to personalized information. Furthermore, those limitations divided with sociodemographic characteristics such as age, gender, income, and education."
