Video

=What are the important aspects for teachers to remember?=


 * Videos can be used but only if they are being used as an educational tool
 * Just because a tape might have a block on it does not mean you are not allowed to use it
 * Sometimes manufactures block things like VHS or DVD but as educators we have the right to use the product if we want
 * Since you are allowed to use someone else is work for educational use you cannot expect your work to not be used
 * You do not have the right to use a video for entertainment
 * Compilations are not allowed but there are websites out there that can provide clips


 * How does Creative Commons apply to your area? Can you give some examples?****

Creative Commons applies to video because if the material is only restricted when used in certain ways this allows students and teacher to use video to enhance lessons, or projects. An example of how this could be used could be a simple as a teacher being able to show a video in class, or a student using clips of a video and putting them into a class assignment. And going even further, it will allow one student to use something another student used, or created thousands of miles away. With ccLearn Creative Commons are also attempting to use the internet to help share educational materials and break down the different roadblocks that are currently in the way.
