Tutorial: Copyright-cleared images at your fingertips
A new online tutorial was launched today to help users locate copyright-cleared images on the Internet, for use in learning and teaching materials. Created by TASI2 (JISC’s Advisory Service for digital media) and Intute3 as part of the Virtual Training Suite4, the free Internet for Image Searching tutorial5 is designed to facilitate quick and hassle-free access to a vast range of photographs and other visual resources online, most of which are entirely free to use. Mindful of the minefield that is copyright law, Sharon Waller from the Higher Education Academy6 calls the 'Internet for Image Searching' tutorial ‘an excellent resource for anyone needing to know more about where and how to find images online. The fact that it concentrates on copyright-cleared images will make it even more valuable for busy learning and teaching professionals, researchers and students alike.’ |

Google Lit Trips - a mashup of literature and Google Earth
"GoogleLitTrips.com is flat out a fantastic project with deep examples of the way technology can be meaningfully integrated into the curriculum. Too often in technology there is a lamentable lag between promise and classroom realization. Jerome Burg closed that gap with GoogleLitTrips. Classical works, modern literature, and wordless primary illustrations are given new life, new access, and a critical new perspective for classrooms. Media, literature, and the earth itself converge here in one of the most exemplary technology integration sites on the educational world wide web. The project's bonus feature is that Jerome himself is a resource who will help you learn from and build GoogleLit projects. By all means, visit, share, and build!"

A few months ago, 


a way to keep a shorthand record of daily class activities? Then how about twitter? Start a Twitter profile (a separate one just for teaching, so not to annoy your friends), and at the end of each class day jot down what you did in class (see below for my Monday, Feb. 11th). Networking with other subject area teachers will encourage collaboration on similar lessons. And possibly (though we teachers would hope not in a 1984 kind of way), an administrator could link in and keep tabs. If I were a curriculum person in an administration, the first thing I would do would be to set up accounts for each teacher to post one daily update. It would give me insight on my school and encourage my teachers to keep a running record of what was accomplished (as opposed to the lesson plan, which usually is not accomplished). As a teacher though, I’ll just use it to keep my own head on straight.
