Editor's Notes
- #2 Naace Strategic Conference, East Midlands Conference Centre; 25th - 26th March, 2015.
- #3 The Open Education Resources statement in Paris 2012 gave the ‘Green Light’ for educational institutions, and schools to consider developing and using OERs (Open Educational Resources). See also Leicester LA OER Strategy (slide 35)
- #4 Content and Resources that can be accessed and shared, because it is in the public domain or Licenced under Creative Commons The minimum requirement for inclusion is that they can be freely shared online, but wherever possibe we should all be pushing for/using the more Open Licences (marked in green on the table).
- #5 The Open Content Toolkit shares categorised links to millions of open content resources from collections and archives and online repositories. http://opencontenttoolkit.wikispaces.com/Links+to+Open+Content (see also slide 33)
- #6 It is important to recognise that not all these things will happen overnight. It is a very gradual processes. Whilst the (1) is common to all it may be best to try and focus learning activities to work relating to just a few of these benefits.
- #7 Most image search tool have adopted a search ‘by use’ filter in their toolsets recently. This should mean means there is no excuse now for misusing copyrighted images. It is important to check every image used or shared online by a school. At the time of writing I personally know of two schools that are currently being asked for substantial payments by Getty Images. Note Getty images http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/ and The Getty which shares open content are completely different organisations https://www.getty.edu/about/opencontent.html
- #8 Two more use search tools for finding Creative Commons licenced content, The CC Search, (due to be upgraded) can search across media formats. Try the Open Clip Art Library for (Vector Image) files you edit using SVG Edit http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/ Photos for Class is a filtered search which draws on Flickr metadata and returns properly attributed images. User can report images if they think are unsuitable for class use. Use the direct to Flickr link for larger images.
- #9 Couple of examples of use of online curation tools Padlet https://padlet.com and Pinterest https://uk.pinterest.com/ being used to curate some CC and open images. The Wikipedia Wonderland is constantly being updated with content from Wikimedia.
- #10 Historic images, texts - all provide hidden clues that can ignite to some interesting research activities.
- #11 Project Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/
- #12 Mozilla defines web literacy as the skills and competencies needed for reading, writing and participating on the web. To chart these skills and competencies, Mozilla worked alongside a community of stakeholders to create the Web Literacy Map. This interactive tool should prove very useful for combining computing, open content and the curriculum.
- #13 The following slides - illustrate some learning activities possible using open content and media
- #14 There are plenty of resources available from organisations such as Computing At School to support mapping curriculum activities to computing. Many of these can be easily integrated with Open Content. Just some quick snippets on the slides as examples.
- #15 Mozzilla Thimble https://thimble.webmaker.org/ used to adapt a template in order to showcase the British Library One Million Images on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/
- #19 Use ‘free’ online design tools to design and create motivational posters, illustrate, quotes, proverbs and poems or indeed to create a metaphor for the theme of this years Naace conference.
- #20 Annotating images is a useful way of adding meaning. Of course it can be used by teachers to create resources, is even better for collaborative and class work. These examples use Thinglink https://www.thinglink.com but there are many more tools. The Waterfall example is from some work done at Hopwood CP school school using blogs with David Mitchell @deputymitchell
- #22 Why not add some contextual; questions to a MC Quiz to extend the learning beyond ‘just knowing the answer’
- #24 Online MindMaps are great for collaborative learning - this example use MindMeister https://www.mindmeister.com There are other ‘free’ alternatives includingMind42 https://mind42.com - more listed here http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2010/03/nine-tools-for-collaboratively-creating.html#.VRaMSJOsUxI
- #25 Although the original video is a BFI copy of the work of the 1920s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene - there are plenty of historic open videos that could be used. - Pond5 http://www.pond5.com/stock-video-footage/1/*.html or the Internet Archive Moving Image portal https://archive.org/details/movies are great sources.
- #26 Timelines are a great way to study historical and time related information. Open media archives and collections offer many unique primary sources that you can use to to create interactive online timelines and bring them to life.
- #27 VIdeonot.es is an open source app that allow you to create notes as you watch an online video, the notes sync to timeline/timecodes which you can use to jump between sections of the video. Works with most online video services including YouTube, Vimeo. Accessed through Google Drive, and exports to Evernote.
- #28 Thanks to Simon Widdowson @xannov at Porchester Junior School for sharing his class’s amazing work.
- #29 Many Sketchfab users make their 3D models under an open Creative Commons licence. They can be be downloaded under a Creative Commons Licence. The British Museum, HTC and Microsoft have all contributed resources. Interactive models such as the example above from British Museum could be used to help understand form, provide different viewpoints for drawing, or develop animations and games. create of its artefacts 3D copies using a 3D printer. Indeed a new way to engage with museums and collections.
- #31 Open Content can be a great resource and inspiration if you want to make/play games. The background to this slide is from the open Rumsey Map Collection http://www.davidrumsey.com/view/view The internet Archive has a large collection of over 7000 classic games from the 1980s onwards that can be paleyed using emulation https://archive.org/details/classicpcgames
- #32 Metatdata games gamify adding tags to online resources. “When you play and submit tags, you are helping libraries, museums, and universities across the country. Without your help some of these images, videos, and audio clips could be lost forever in the jumbles of the internet”
- #33 A lesson on Image Licensing (Digital Literacy) shared in a blog by Dr. Jo Badge @jobadge and adapted by the Education Faculty at the University of Cambridge
- #34 Has been created to offer schools a unique opportunity to recognise the breadth, variety and scope of digital archives and media collections. Please consider joining the community, the more users and contributors there are the better. Share your ideas and any work, no matter how even it it is just a little, or you have been using open content for just a short time Critical and constructive feedback is very welcome, and essential to improving the toolkit for all. Please consider adding your feedback to the discussions at the foot of each page. Please share widely - thanks.
- #36 “Leicester City Council has given permission to the 84 community and voluntary controlled schools across the city to create and share Open Educational Resources (OER), by releasing the learning materials they create under an open licence. By default, the rights of work created in the line of employment are assigned to the employer, unless a specific agreement has been made. This permission makes sharing resources simpler for everyone at these schools”
