So? What are Web 2.0 Tools?

These tools exist in the clouds.They are NOT downloaded to your

computer. They ARE productivity tools.Web 2.0 tools can be described as

participatory culture tools. They are essential tools on the read, write,

create, share, and comment Web.

What does participatory culture tools mean? These tools are free and have these features…

relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement

strong support for creating and sharing one’s creations with others

some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices

What are the features of “participatory culture tools”?

members believe that their contributions matter

members feel some degree of social connection with one another (at the least they care what other people think about what they have) (Jenkins, et al. 2005, 7).

Copyright and Web 2.0 Tools

What do you know about copyright in the online

environment?

What are some of the dangers and pitfalls when

incorporating media into a Web 2.0 tool?

Why are we engaging in the assignment AFTER

we have studied copyright?

So, what can a Web 2.0 creator do?

Use copyright-free media ONLY!

Resources for copyright-free images and

music are found on our course wiki at:

http://ls5043.wikispaces.com/Web_2.0

And what if you decide to go off on your own?

CAREFULLY read the “terms of use” for any

media you find on the Web.

Example: Free Kids Music

http://freekidsmusic.com

Sounds simple enough…

But it’s not!!!

“It is NOT intended to be played on your web site, mixed with video or graphics and posted on another web site, played in public as warmup music for a paying audience, burned to CDs intended for resale, used on TV shows, etc.”

http://freekidsmusic.com/about/use-of-this-music

When you create with Web 2.0 tools,

and publishing to the free Web, you are engaging in

DISTRIBUTION.

And you know that means

FAIR USE does NOT apply!!!

Attribution

Please see the examples of appropriate attribution for Web 2.0 multimedia products provided for you on the A.2.2 Web 2.0 Tool Evaluation Rubric.

ALWAYS cite your sources to the full extent the tool will allow. If the tool provides a comment section, why not provide a complete reference list there?

Animoto Example

Although the reference list is an MLA Works Cited document, you can get the big ideas about citing multimedia from this presentation:

“Coteachers: Step Out of the Box—Together!”http://tinyurl.com/coteachersstepoutofthebox
