My Copyright Action Plan

There are allot of things that I as a future teacher had no idea about the law of copyright laws. There are allot of teachers out there that is breaking the copyright law and they do not know ,and i don't want to be one of those teachers. First, I will adjust my teaching methods to the laws of copyright to make sure i don't go wrong and anyway. One thing I will assure myself and my teaching ways on the fair use of exemptions of the copyrights in my teaching. That way use materials that can be use during fair use and I wouldn't have to worry about a big part of my teaching lessons that I would use. Anther use of my teaching ways is videotapes. I can use a video tape as long as it involves a student in the activity or the lesson. I will not show it's entire showings because I would have to have permission. Also I can use it if it is lawfully made and cannot use it to make a profit or anything like it. I would use the Internet but I would have to get permission from whatever source I get my information from because on the Internet they may published a copyright or they may not and it doesn't if they don't because it is all the same as the other laws. My personal response on the law is that I think its fair to be strict on the law because if the work was done by me I would want someone ask me for permission to use my work or material that I have done. In my plan for teaching I am planning to abide by the copyright laws the best of my ability. I know I want get permission of everything but I will try my best and not just to ignore it because that is so easy to do , but to do my best and teach my students about the law as well.

Multimedia in the Classroom

Audio and vedio media enhanced how your classroom or content area use of computers increase change in learning. Audio adds a demension to classroom environments that expands and deepends students learning experiences. The teachers can prepare the recordings for the use of direct instruction. The teacher produced recordings can also provide skills and practice for pronunciation of foreign lanquage. Audio recordings can be used for presenting book reports. Students may record their book reports during study time in the media center or at home. While on field trips the students can use portable devices to record information. Some ways to store digital audio is the use of compact discs, mp3, and wav audio files. Then there is vedio media. Many teachers use vedio to introduce a topic, to present content, to provide remediation, and to promote enrichment. Vedio segments can be used in all instructional environments with classes, small groups, and individual students. Vedios a few minutes in length provide maximum flexibility for the teacher and to promote learning in a way that relate to students needs. Vedio is great for showing how things work, and by viewing a vedio program together, a diverse group of learners can build a common base of experience as a catalyst for discussion on the topic on hand.

What is Media?

Media is anything that carries information between a source to a receiver. The purpose of media is to facilitate communication and learning. There are six categories of media and they are text, audio, visuals, video, manipulative, and people. The text may be displayed in any format like book, poster, chalkboard, or computer screen. The audio includes anything that a person can hear. Visual is regularly used to promote learning that uses diagrams. Manipulates are three dimensional and can be touched and handled by students. People are critical to learning. Students learn from teachers, other students, and adults. In the classroom I will use concrete experiences with actual involvement of the student. Also have simulations and role-plays used as a learning tool. I can used demonstrations, exhibits, and video for observation. During the abstract experiences that is where the students used more audio and text in there learning.
