Presentation Title
“Crossing the Copyright Boundary in the Digital Age”
Description
Copyright used to be only a problem to teachers as they tried to figure out what they could and could not use. Some just gave up and crossed their fingers. Multimedia projects loaded onto websites only made it worse because now it really did matter where you got it. Fortunately, just as the web has facilitated file sharing, it has also given birth to new ideas about copyright and how we can make the rules more user-friendly. This presentation will briefly review current copyright law, but it will focus primarily on a new trend called Creative Commons that puts power in the hands of both the creator and the consumer, who is, by the way, probably also a creator. The copyright boundary has been breached and teachers and students should be stepping through!

Presentation Title
“Building Online Communities for Youth”
Description
Our examples for this presentation, Youthvoices and Personal Learning Space, are school-based social networking sites, a place online where our students share personal blogs, do research into topics of their own choosing, work with images, and develop profile pages that connect to other students from Canada, Brazil, USA, and other countries who are joining in. As students develop an online identity with maps, avatars/icons, interests, likes and dislikes, teachers and moderators of the space can facilitate communication and networking skills. (Live event Oct. 24, Wednesday at 9:00pm EST http://edtechtalk.com)
