Creating Lifelong Learners

If you’ve never heard of the K12 Online Conference, all you need to know is that it’s a free online conference with presentations from some of the greatest minds in educational technology (they’ve also asked me to present).  All presentations are accessible from the web site.  You can even see presentations from previous years.  You can download and watch the presentations at your leisure Did I mention that it’s free?

Last year, I presented Film School for Video Podcasters, a short film on how to create better classroom movies.  This year, I present Steal This Preso! Copyrights, Fair Use, and Pirates in the Classroom.

I hope to deal with several common misconceptions about copyrights as they relate to classroom multimedia projects.

The presentation goes live next month.  In the meantime, please see the trailer:

Thanks to Kevin for sharing this comic book which aims to teach about Fair Use from Duke University.

I want to share my favorite Fair Use resource…I absolutely love the Barely Legal Radio program here in Los Angeles though I always listen online since I’m in school at the times when it’s on the radio. Jaime Escalante is hilarious and because I dabble in the film biz, I get a lot of good information from the show. If you have an interest in entertainment law or want to hear about fair use from a lawyer, this is a great show for you.
