Copyright Videos

The following video would be great to show my class to start a dance history section. It is entertaining and compelling. We could then discuss about copyright. This man only uses a slight portion of each song so it is within copyright laws for my classroom, but it does not give any credit or mention where each song is from.



This video is a good example of using educational technology in a classroom. The teacher made up her own words to what sounds like a generic rap tune off of garage band or something. What is hard is she didn't site her background music so you can not tell where its from. You will have to follow the link below to view the video. It would not embed.

Proposal

My idea for a video project is to create an instructional dance video for my students to learn from and then later perform. This could be interesting to see how well things turn out.

My gospel insight presentation

I created this for class, but i thought it was cute how they related internet safety to a Cafe. So it relates to menu's, food and other things you woulf find in a cafe.

Viddler

I created a lesson plan for encorporating viddler as feedback for my class. But after using the program, I feel it would be more work to have them do their feedback this way. I could see me using it as a teacher more than I can see students using it as an assignment. But I could give more persaonal feedback by being able to view a video multiple times and give comments while watching.

A sample of the video I embedded for practice is:

Copyright Multimedia

Look here soon for examples of good and bad use of copyright by other educators found on teacher tube.

Copyright

This week I watched videos about copyrights and learned a lot about "fair use." It seems to me there is a definate line in my major with copyright laws. Between using the media for educational purposes and using the media for enteretainment purposes. My major revolves around creating movement for entertainment value later on. So while in class I am allowed to have my students use music in its full content. But i have a question, If i wanted to have my students take what they have learned and do a concert, where is the lines in that? Say they used a popular song, they are demonstrating what they have learned in class, but then what? I am sure there parents come and record it. I have seen kids performances end up on youtube. It make me think more about teaching my students about correct Copyright.
