A Word About Copyright

We talk about copyright ALL THE TIME in my classroom, possibly at least once daily...

Okay, I wanted to add a PDF on copyright here, but instead I will have to link you to my other site I created for this conference to view it click, and then quietly hum the "Jeopardy" music...

Sources:United States Copyright Office Circular 21;Sections 107,108,and 110 ofthe Copyright Act (1976) and subsequent amendments,including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act;Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia;cable systems (and their associations);and Copyright Policy and Guidelines for California’s School Districts,California Department ofEducation. Note:Representatives ofthe institutions and associations who helped to draw up many ofthe above guidelines wrote a letter to Congress dated March 19,1976,stating: “There may be instances in which copying that does not fall within the guidelines stated [above] may nonetheless be permitted under the criterion offair use.”

Okay, so it's cool, but how do I USE it?

Well, the possibilities are ENDLESS!  NEVER limit yourself...AND do not try
and reinvent the wheel, for heaven's sake!

Here are some of the cool sites I found that you can be inspired by!

 Digital Video - Mr. Olejarz
Students learn to become more media literate. They learn to plan and produce video projects, decode images and messages within media and decide what makes a powerful and effective message. Students develop interview skills, public speaking skills, research skills and learn to interpret and dramatize literature.


The following site was another great idea posted by by Jamie McKenzie in Bellingham Public Schools
in Bellingham, Washington.  The gist of it, is to create an iMovie by interviewing the subject.  I think this could be fun.  The rubric could give extra credit if authentic costuming were involved or if someone was interviewing Claude Monet and they used a French accent.   : )

Here's a site that is suggested to be for Middle School students:

It also has helpful tips, information, rubrics and a behavior contract.

(Thank you Harold Olejarz !)


Here's another called "iMovie In Teacher Education", which has little embedded videos...
Who knew all this was out there?  (I didn't until I started searching.)

YouTube Videos and Tutorials...

Here are just 2 of the MANY videos and tutorials on YouTube about or using iMovie.
I have also created a playlist to share with you as well when we are face to face.
If you don't know how to create and account on YouTube, it's easy, it's free and 
it's a great way to stay organized and not have to search each time you look 
for something!
