Double Entry Journal #6
Quote: "Researchers who directed several hundred college students to three bogus Web
sites about fictitious nutritional supplements found that half of the students
lacked the skills to identify the trustworthiness of the information, yet most
thought they had strong research skills (Ivanitskaya, O'Boyle, & Casey,
2006)."
Response: I completely agree with this quote that not all students have the knowledge to identify the trustworthliness of information from the internet. Students need to be taught how to tell if a website is trustworthy or if it is a fraud. I admit I am one of those students, yet we are expected to do research on the internet for papers. We need classes atleast at a high school level to teach students aboout the internet and what is fraud on the internet, along with other useful skills.
I found this article about "How to Properly Research Online". The article is related to the quote because it is one step to teaching students how to research information on the internet.

Does the digital story you created and uploaded to YouTube fall under Fair Use Guidelines? Explain.
Yes, because it falls under principle four stating "students' use of copyrighted materials in their own academic and creative work". Which means that it is Fair Use because I only used the materials to create my digital story for a grade. Since I only use the materials for creating a creative work for a grade, I could use what I needed to express myself.
Fair Use
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 wide variety of forms and media in education is teachers using text, audiovisual and digital material to convey facts and information to teach a class.
2.What social bargain is at the heart of Fair use?
The social bargain that is at the heart of Fair Use is the cultural value of copying.
3.Why is Fair Use more important today?
Fair use is more important today because copyright protects more works for longer periods than ever before, and creators face new challenges, and are sometimes 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 because the teacher used the movie in the classroom to teach the students
6.Which principle relates most strongly to the digital story you created in class? Explain.
Principle four: students’ use of copyrighted materials in their own academic and creative work.
7.Are there limitations to the amount of pictures, length of music, or video that can be used in a multimedia project?
No
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
9.Should educators try to change the policies in their school in they are not in line with Fair Use doctrine?
Yes, because students need to understand what is acceptable with in the Fair Use policies.
10.What common myth about Fair Use surprised you the most?
School system rules are the last word of fair use by educators.

Quote:
"Making a ball roll. To demonstrate their understanding of the geometry of circles, students at Molalla Elementary School in Oregon created an animated story showing how to make a ball roll on the beach." (Ohler, 2006)
Response:
The quote surprised me because I didnt really think that you could use digital storytelling in the math field, and it is a really great idea to use. I love this idea and I think we need to use more activities like this one to teach the children of the future. This is just one way that teachers could use technology to teach children and teachers need to use more technics like this to mix-up the way we teach the students. If you do what you've always done, you will get what you've always gotten.
The video below is the one of the videos that was made at Molalla Elementary School in Oregon. This video help understand what the students did and how math was used in making the video.

Quote
"It is rather bizarre that the first widespread change in how people spell English words appears to have come from a group of (largely) young people sending text messages to one another with cellular phones and other electronic devices." (Shea, Ammon, 2010)
Response
The quote that I picked surprised me. because I could not believe that people actually think that young people today are the first widespread change of the spelling of English words. People back in the 1700s were spelling words how they wanted or how thye thought words were spelled. Also, as stated in the article, Benjamin Franklin suggested changing the alphabet is just one example of how it is normal for people to make changes to the english language. Through out history people have been trying to change how people spell words in the english language. It's just funny that people now days think it just because the texting and internet, yet if that was the case then why did Benjamin Franklin try to change the alphabet. Did Benjamin Franklin have a cell phone?
This is one example of how radom the English Language is.

Learning Styles and Prefrences
1) Do learning styles exist?
Learning styles don't exist, we just have our own prefernce to learning and studying.
2) Are they useful for classroom instruction?
We need to use all three peices in a classroom, giving a visual, aditory, and hands on parts in the learning proccess.
3) What is the best philosophy for using learning styles?
The best philosophy for using learning styles is to use all three and not just one. If you use just one type you will bore the children and they won,t learn. If you use visual, aditory, and hand-ons activites you will better educate your students.
