It’s All About Creativity: Creative Commons and Copyright

View more presentations from Wesley Fryer.

This is an excellent presentation about Copyright and Creative Commons, which caused me to rethink my usual several-times-a-year pep talk about copyright and far use. I’m usually not a negative person, so why was this particular presentation always about the “don’ts” and never about the “you can do these really great things”? I like to think of myself as an early adopter, but I was clearly behind the times on this issue. Why haven’t I spent more time teaching students about how to do really cool media mashups? Why have I just said “Don’t ever Google!”? I solemnly swear to bring my media literacy teaching into the twenty-first century. If you have great ideas about how to do this, please comment, Twitter, Facebook or email me. We’ve got to move on to creativity, not get sucked in by negativity.
