Copyright Assignment

1st Video-

Bill Nye the Science Guy on Crying

This first video is definitely appropriate for teaching purposes. While the clip is taken from a specific episode, it is still less than 10% of the entire thing. The person who put up the clip also stated which episode/series that he took the clip from. This would be something that I would feel comfortable using in the classroom.

2nd Video-

"Cell Respiration"-Cellular Respiration Song

I found this to be a great example of a educator keeping to the copyright laws. The teacher took a popular song and arranged his own lyrics to it. In his description of the video he was very clear on the purpose of creating and posting this video. He also was sure to give credit those (the Black Eyed Peas) who he based his work off of. He could have included a link to get the real song as well, but since it was for educational purposes it is not necessary.

My First Website!

Here's the link to my website I created for IP&T 286.

https://sites.google.com/site/mrpattersonsscienceclass/

“How do you think you will use your website in your own teaching? What aspects of the website will be most useful for you, your students, and their parents?”

In the process of making thing website I have realized just how useful that it will be when I am teaching. I like having the calendar that links up to my Google Calendar so that it stays up to date. This will defined come in handy when parents want to know what their son/daughter will be doing in the upcoming weeks. It also allows them to see upcoming tests and quizzes, which will help them help their son/daughter in preparing for it. I also like the idea of having an announcement page for each type of class. That way, if there some supplementary material that I want to add to that day's lecture I can post it up there. I can also make announcements about upcoming exams/quizzes. What makes this even more effective is that the parents can subscribe to the RSS Feed for that class so they get those announcements without coming to my website.
