This week we continued working on our key assignment for our portfolio and learned about Creative Commons. We are making a video that we can use for instruction in our classrooms and creative commons allows up to copyright our work.
This project will benefit me as a teacher to have media materials. However, in creating media materials I need to be aware of copyright laws. As we have been learning about obtaining permissions and finding out where to obtain "free" information I realized how much stuff is out on the internet illegally. These videos are a great resource for our students and a quick, yet different way to get them the information they need but it is important to make sure that we are getting the proper authorization for the material.
I want to make learning enjoyable. This technology will enhance my teaching and make me a better educator because I am able to teach in a way that relates to me students. Students enjoy technology and any way that I can incorporate it into the classroom will be beneficial to them. It will also be beneficial to me because I am keeping up with technology and taking advantage of what it has to offer but doing so legally. The last thing I want is to get in trouble with the law. Not only for the complications for me but also the poor example it will set for me students.
