2201 Double Journal Entry 5

1. What is the difference between Media in Education vs Media Literacy Education? Media literacy is the capacity to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate messages in a variety of forms. Media literacy education may occur as a separate program or course but often it is embedded within other subject areas.
2. What social bargain is at the heart of Fair use? We as a society give limited property rights to creators to encourage them to produce culture; at the same time, we give other creators the chance to use that same copyrighted material, without permission or payment, in some circumstances.
3. Why is Fair Use more important today? Fair use keeps copyright from violating the First Amendment. As copyright protects more works for longer periods than ever before: licenses to incorporate copyrighted sources become more expensive and more difficult t obtain-and sometimes are simply unavailable.
4. What are the two key questions judges use to determine Fair Use?

• Did the unlicensed use “transform” the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?

• Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?

5. A teacher shows a movie of The Lion King and asks student to notice how the animals in the movie reflect racial stereotypes? Is this Fair Use? Why? Yes this is Fair Use because it was used for an educational purpose.
6. Which principle relates most strongly to the digital story you created in class? Explain. Principle Four relates to our digital story best. We used copyrighted material in our own creative work.
7. Are there limitations to the amount of pictures, length of music, or video that can be used in a multimedia project? There are limitations in the way they are used but not on the amount.
8. Do you need to request permission from the original creator in order to use copyrighted material in multimedia project for school related assignment? No you don’t need permission but they do need to be credited.
9. Should educators try to change the policies in their school in they are not in line with Fair Use doctrine? Yes educators should try to change the policies that are not in line with the Fair Use doctrine because they need to be leaders in establishing the best practices and share their knowledge.
10. What common myth about Fair Use surprised you the most? The myth most surprising to me is EDUCATORS CAN RELY ON “RULES OF THUMB” FOR FAIR USE GUIDELINES.

Does the digital story you created and uploaded to YouTube fall under Fair Use Guidelines? Yes the digital story falls within the Fair Use Guidelines. We practiced our media literacy skills creating the video giving it an educational purpose. The music was not used to draw attention to the song of choice. We also included a reference slide to credit the owners of the original work.
