The copyright movie was not only educational, but entertaining the way they took the clips from all the Disney movies and incorporated them into a visual piece of art that they want people to comprehend. I think that movie summed it up on the copyright law.
Creative Commons is a tool that I will share with others on how to protect their creativity. Especially with the younger generation and their creations, there are some talented kids out there!
Finally the end.......
Throughout the Web 2.0 journey I have found amazing things to share with students, staff, and family members on how much we can better express ourselves in this technology savvy world that we live in today. We as educators need to continue learning learning the new tools that keep entering the technological world to better prepare our students for the real world. A world of ways to express themselves. Why not stay on top of technology and allow them to express themselves in ways that they already do in their world. Lets let them teach us the way they use Web 2.0 tools.
Changes for the class:
* For someone never taking an online class before I would give instructions on how to and where to go to get started. ( I really appreciated the help Ann!)
* I would check the links out before hand to make sure they work.
*I would maybe assign or have people pair up as teams to bounce ideas off of one another on how things can be incorporated into the classroom or home life.
*Lastly, I would offer this class to jr./Sr. High Students to offer them a chance to give ideas or input. I think you might get a lot of responses.
Although I am finished with this class, I will never finish using Web 2.0 tools. I was already Internet savvy, but this class has lead me to a new adventure in the way to use technology. I really enjoyed this class and will recommend it to everyone and anyone that wants to learn!
Hi Tina
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking this class. I appreciate the suggestions and will work on a New to Online Classes addition for the front page. That is a great idea. This course is available to anyone and they don't have to take it for credit. I would love to have some teens go through it and see what they think.
Don't forget to do the reading from the text book "Web 2.0: New tools New Schools" by Solomon and Schrum. Chapters 1, 7, 9, and one of your choice. Blog about them here. Also, an implementation plan (which can be a blog post about how you intend to use one of the tools in your practice this year) Let me know if you need any help.
