Crossing the Copyright Boundary in the Digital Age Presentation

joy.jpgI have pushed everything to the side and I am determined to spend some time on K12 Online 07 this week. What a joy! Many have taken off for the holidays and we have a little down time. The research is on hold until the beginning of December so I am surfacing for a bit.

I selected Karen Richardson’s presentation “Crossing the Copyright Boundary in the Digital Age”. She starts off with a video giving a clear and concise overview of the contents of her wiki. The wiki includes a humorous yet very informative spoof of copyright by Eric Faden that includes a series of clips from Disney movies. Then she includes a copyright quiz by Hall Davidson that will let you know your own understanding of copyright laws. Then it moves into a great introduction to Creative Commons. You see a movie and this link will take you directly to a search engine to find Creative Commons licensed materials. The next part gives you a tour of places you can find copyright-friendly materials like Wikimedia Commons and Internet Archive. Then she moves into open education resources commons like Yellowstone National Park, National Archives website, and the Library of Congress. I have been spending lots of time on all these sites this morning - it is a terrific resource. Go follow her links to see all the resources.

Karen has created a dynamic resource that will be so helpful to all of us. These are a “must-see” for all educators. Thanks Karen for providing such a timely presentation. I know I will be using it a lot with students and other educators!

    If I may possibly –perhaps you must consider adding some images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its quite enlightening, indeed. However, I think would respond to it much more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas. Keep it up, but put a little far more into it next time.
