As you should remember, today I will be at a technology integration Professional Learning community. So here is your assignment...
- Finish your Humphrey assignment
- save this file as your name and Humphrey (i.e. koolshumfrey.rtf) and save it in media share.
- Finish your bias in the news assignment
- Post this to the bulletin board under your name.
- Media journal for today: RIP: a remix manifesto part 6
Respond in the bulletin board with your
own thoughts and feelings about the content(media text) how audiences view it (audience) and how it's made (production). Also consider the following questions.
- In chapter six we meet Stanford professor and copyright activist, Lawrence Lessig. We take a look at some of the people labeled criminals and ask if it benefits society.
Brett also introduces the idea of "fair use."
- If you share music illegally, do your parents know? What do you think their
view on this is? Would their opinions differ if you purchased a CD or DVD and "remixed" it?
- When you write an essay or paper you may quote other authors and cite
those references. Do you believe we should be allowed to do the same with music and video?
- Lawrence Lessig states that copyright extremism "does harm" to
developing nations. What do you think he means by this? What do these laws and policies affect beyond music and the media?
