It is the sense of a student getting away from a research paper and making/presenting a creative project. This past fall I sat and watch presentation after presentation that jumped into youtube for a video to augment a powerpoint. I even had one student create her own youtube video. The power of her presentation was tremendous. The emotion that was conveyed moved the entire class as they sat intensely watching it. I share it as an example of the potential that I believe Mark was alluding to: http://youtube.com/profile?user=nanebah. This led me to create my own youtube world - a way of reaching students in a world they clearly gravitate toward if they are able to find.<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/profile?user=refflandWuyiBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734331528407588826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907756.post-2976973846540310292007-11-09T07:42:00.000-05:002007-11-09T07:42:00.000-05:00Great point on rights management and using YouTube...Great point on rights management and using YouTube. It's one of the reasons why for curriculum sharing, I'm actually more a fan of www.oercommons.org. However, it is still useful to teach students about rights management within the context of using these kinds of resources.Mark David Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342948679349614868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907756.post-3610063437316623442007-11-08T13:06:00.000-05:002007-11-08T13:06:00.000-05:00Have you encountered faculty resistance to the cla...Have you encountered faculty resistance to the classroom use of YouTube content on the bases of copyright? Teachers and professors have an obligation to adhere to the law and to promote ethical uses of all intellectual content utilized in a class. I understand the people who post content on YouTube are often doing so to share it. However often the content isn't theirs to share. If the actual copyright holder did not give permission for it to be posted then it is a violation of ethics to used this clip in a classroom environment. In essence the professor is telling students it is OK to disregard copyright law. Oftentimes it is difficult to for faculty to discern what content is copyrighted and what is not making it hard to use the content and adhere to ethical standards.<BR/><BR/>Just another point to debate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907756.post-38445204668473294892007-05-12T20:39:00.000-05:002007-05-12T20:39:00.000-05:00I am an 8th grade math teacher.

A few years ago, I used to do a project with my math students where they had to incorporate at least five math problems into a short video (15 minutes or less). This was when most of the tapes were VHS and only a handful of kids had digital movie cameras and editing software. The projects were usually due right before spring break (I think that is why I quit doing the project- because I grew tired of spending my spring break grading the videos). Each year I got a few really good projects and a lot of really bad projects- but good or bad- most of the students had a lot of fun. Your comments and the golf video have motivated me to “revisit” the value of this project. We would spend some of the free time in class or in study hall the last few weeks of the school year watching some of the “more impressive” videos. It was a fun way to “breathe a little life” into the end of the school year. Unfortunately, the project was an eye-opener in a bad way too, when I realized that a few of my students in no way could apply any math concepts or skills correctly into their projects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24907756.post-2517131810465622512007-04-10T15:47:00.000-05:002007-04-10T15:47:00.000-05:00The goal of every instructor should be to make stu...The goal of every instructor should be to make students "fall in love with learning." If technology is the way to do it, I'm game. I've already stuck my toe in the water by going online with one of my courses but realize this is only the tip of the technology iceberg. I'm gearing up for more...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
