Teaching Materials

7949717596After a lifetime of accumulating teaching materials,  I decided that this blog would be a good place to share some of my resources now that I am “officially” retired. That is what teachers do! Please respect the Fair Use guidelines and give credit where it is due.

These materials are for educational use only. Many of the images are my own while others I have found on the internet. According to the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education, under fair use, educators “can choose illustrative material from the full range of copyrighted sources and make them available to learners, in class, in workshops, in informal mentoring, and teaching settings, and on school-related Web sites” (11). In addition, teachers may “use copyrighted materials in the creation of lesson plans, materials, tool kits, and curricula in order to apply the principles of media literacy education and use digital technologies effectively in an educational context” (12). An excellent website to find images for your own Blogs and for your students is Photos for Class. When you click “download” on any photo, it automatically generates a watermarked image that includes the name of the author, the name of the photo, a link to the original photo, and the name and type of license along with a link to read it. (Click on the image and check it out!)

I will continue adding materials, so stay tuned!

One thought on “Teaching Materials

  1. It is interesting to me that it seems as if Poe has fallen out of favor in many curriculums I have seen. I know that in my high school it is not taught very often, and many have put it on the back burner. I find this to be a little sad as I have always enjoyed Poe. In your voice thread you went over the different criticism types that you could apply to Poe. This seems like an excellent idea, and one that works well in my classroom. Something I may have to consider.
