A Love for Learning

We’ve been exploring the use of media in the classroom this week, so I ventured onto the two sites, Teacher Tube and Slide Share.  I found some good stuff!

I decided to stick to one topic, and since we’re learning about sharing and collaborating on work, my focus was on Fair Use and Copyright.  I especially wanted to find some good information about the Creative Commons License since both my students and my colleagues are just learning about this.  I myself only heard about it within the past year through a class at Fontbonne and a technology conference or two.  I’m much more tuned into it now, and I see the cc symbol a lot more often now.

The first video from Teacher Tube is called A Fair(y) Use Talk, which is just an introduction to what is meant by copyright and fair use using a zillion clips from Disney Films.    It was created by Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University and it part of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society.  (Because it is a fairly large file, please use the link above to view the video.)
 

Here’s an instructional video on Teacher Tube from the Creative Commons people themselves, explaining how this new licensing works:

Finally, Slide Share had several presentations about the Creative Commons License.  This one is from ericcc and was a Creative Commons Presentation for the July 11, 2007 Yahoo! Creative Talk.
