So...a funny thing happened last week that I never thought about! Our 8th Grade ELA students created these video projects in which they compiled short video clips from different TV shows, movies, and music videos to create their Top 10 Tips on surviving Middle School, Project 10: Life Lessons Learned. Their target audience...the incoming 6th graders. This was a great concept, but I knew they would need a crash course on Copyright Compliance so I gave them one. Once they began to upload their videos, a few still got flagged. YouTube was great to specifically detail the infractions. So corrections were made, and a new upload ensued. I realized...YouTube became our TurnItIn for multi-media. One more reason to #freethetube!
