Hunter Looney blogs and vlogs about current issues in technology and education. And maybe some sports.
I too was most interested in the Creative Commons videos and discussion. It was great to have some clarity with how this connects with the copyright issues that we discussed earlier. The video was very creative and clear that the Creative Commons licenses make it obvious the rights associated with how you use the piece of media. What a great piece of media to explain this kind of thing to students!
This video stood out for me too. I think the humor and the characters used in the video will engage students in learning about copyright and how to use Creative Commons.
Hunter - I loved this video too - and did you also see the "Disney" Parody that deals with copyright? Interesting that they would choose Disney - as almost everything they do pertains to things that are in the Public Domain - and therefore they have no worries about copyright. On a side note - when I wanted to use a movement from a Mahler Symphony in one of my filmmaking projects - I asked Tom Lucas - "Since Mahler's music is in the Public Domain, is it ok? His response was not what I expected - he said that the music is in the PD but the recording, made by the Chicago Symphony is not!
Hunter - Your experience just goes to show the power multimedia instruction has to educate and entertain students on topics that may have seemed inaccessible or confusing otherwise.Glad it helped clear up a few issues!
