Video Assignment
Goals:
Through this movie project we are attempting to tie together various ideas and topics from ED 245 into something relevant to our professional growth, teaching, and/or the students we will educate. This assignment will help us expand our knowledge of this particular media tool (iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) in addition to demonstrating its effectiveness in the classroom setting. With our movie we are demonstrating the importance of fair use and its relevance to students and education today. During our time in ED 245 and through discussions, we have realized we were not knowledgeable about the topic of fair use. This video could be an effective tool for representing the general lack of awareness around this topic as well as educating students about fair use in general.

Prompt:
In general, the digital divide refers to the unequal access by some members of society to information and communications technology, and the unequal acquisition of related skills. Does the digital divide exist in today’s schools? Where does mobile use fit into this equation? Special needs? The first three news articles speak to these areas of the divide.
We tend to think about the divide in terms of access – does a student/school have networked computers? Wireless or mobile access? On the other hand, there is another definition of the divide which focuses on the instructional and pedagogical uses of technology with students. In other words: Once we have it, how do we ask students to understand and recognize its potential? Teachers? The last article speaks to this perspective of the divide.
What are your thoughts?

Prompt:
You created a short photo montage that incorporated unauthorized, copyrighted material. Is this illegal or fair use? In this week’s discussion, you will demonstrate that you can correctly apply fair use principles.
Write a short defense of why the copyrighted material you used is fair use, according to the “Best Practices” articles in the Week 9 folder (you’ll notice overlap among the articles). You should be able to cite which category or categories of fair use your video falls under, and how you determined that your use transformed the material and was only as long as it needed to be. This can be in ordinary language, your own thoughts, and without “legal mumbo jumbo.” Please add any additional arguments that you think strengthen your case for your photo montage correctly using fair use.

Photo Montage
Goals:
The objectives of this lesson include becoming familiarized with a Photo publishing or movie making program to create a finished product that informs a group of peers or parents about what is happening in my classroom, or a little biography of my teaching experiences. A video making program such as iMovie or Windows Movie Maker would be a fun tool for communicating both with parents and school administrators to provide a concise look at what is happening in my classroom. I have discussed communication is vital to the success of education and this assignment would encourage open lines of communication as parents of the students in my classroom would become more aware of the activities we are doing as well as staying up to date on the material we are covering. As a biology teacher this video is a neat construct of the fun incorporated into my classroom.

Prompt:
We are focusing on our two media projects (photo and video montages) and expanding previous topics to now include the use of digital images and video. As such, consider how student use of digital images and video can allow them to meet learning goals and curriculum standards. What are the advantages of using video in the classroom? How can subjects, Math or your specialty area, best be learned using more visual technologies in concert with other digital technologies? What are the advantages to students producing their own “Digital Stories?” Which type of video project (according to Garetty and Schmidt) might your students be producing?

This was a group assignment that both modeled and explained constructivism in the classroom. In addition to our PowerPoint presentation, we provided an activity for the class to demonstrate a constructive activity in the classroom.
