What? This week we learned about creating digital stories and all that is involved in creating and using materials off the Internet, regarding copy rights. In class we were all assigned various sights and topics to research and type in to a community Google document. It was very difficult to work with 26 other people on this assignment. Wow, I learned the importance of logging in on FireFox instead of explorer. We all learned how to be able to look for materials and media that had rights to re-use. I was surprised to learn about all of the laws regarding these sights and music etc.
So What? As we know which sights have material which gives the right to re-use we are going to be able to create our digital story assignment for this week. We are creating a video about Utah’s geographical features so we will be able to use it during our field experience. I worked on the video earlier last week and used just any pictures off the Internet, not knowing about copy rights rules. Now that I know about advanced image search, I was able to start work on another video and use images and music that are registered for re-use. I am still trying to figure out the music to use, so I’ll keep working on that. I have enjoyed working on movie maker program, it’s easy to use and the end product looks good and professionally done.
Then What? Now that I am learning how to create digital stories I think it is a wonderful addition to any lesson. I get excited thinking of the neat video’s I will be able to create for my classes, which I can create specifically for a lesson, with everything I am covering and which I feel my students need to see. I think it would be so fun and interesting to go into this as a business. I think it would be really useful to have a sight with unlimited access to use these video clips for educators. I feel like it is such a great addition to any lesson, and if they were well done I feel there is definitely a need out there. I enjoy being able to use my creativity to create a movie that will interest my students and help them gain interest in a subject and also gain the knowledge to build upon. I love this type of media-and I know my students will benefit from its use in my classroom.
