Last day of Educator Bootcamp

The last day of Educator Bootcamp went very well. I had a group of teachers and administrators and the class was Music in the Classroom.
We started off with a discussion of copyright versus copyleft then an in-depth analysis of various creative commons licenses.
We then searched Jamendo and CCmixter where I helped them download and extract the albums and and discussed different ways to put it to use in the classroom such as:

  • Background music
  • Songs of the day
  • Playlists
  • Podcasts
  • Movies
  • Embedded Flash
  • Slide show presentations
  • YouTube videos
  • And even shared media servers for students to use in projects

The students were so pleased that they went to my administrator and we are having a follow-up class Monday nightso there is going to be even more fun.
