Online Pivot – some Open University resources – The Ed Techie

Online Pivot – some Open University resources – The Ed Techie | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From blog.edtechie.net - March 19, 2020 5:45 PM
As the pivot to online gathers apace, some colleagues have been discussing if we have useful resources at the Open University to help. Lots of other people are doing excellent work online, so I won’t try and collate everything that is out there but rather just focus on OU resources. While we do know a lot about distance & online learning, it’s important to recognise that what is happening now is quite different in nature. This is an emergency, swift response in switching classes to online, which is not the same as a carefully planned 5 year strategy.
Elizabeth E Charles's insight:

Great collection of resources.

Media-, News-, and Information-Literacy Resources for Students

Media-, News-, and Information-Literacy Resources for Students | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.commonsense.org - November 8, 2017 4:06 PM
After the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the world seems to be waking up to what educators have known for a long time: media literacy matters, especially as it relates to the news, social media, and the web. While the definition and specific skills of media literacy (as well as its companions, news literacy and information literacy) evolve with the media and technology landscape, the core objectives remain: that through media literacy, students learn to find, consume, and create media critically and develop a mindfulness about how media is made, by whom it is made, and for what purposes it is made. There are a lot of tools out there to help students build and practice these essential skills, and on this list we feature some of the best we've found. You'll find great apps and websites broken down into three core categories: those that help students evaluate media, those that help them create media, and those that steer students toward factual sources.

Augmented Reality: 32 Resources About Using it Education

Augmented Reality: 32 Resources About Using it Education | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From mediaspecialistsguide.blogspot.co.uk - September 27, 2016 3:12 PM
According to Webster's Dictionary, augmented reality is "an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to overlay digital information on an image of something being viewed through a device (as a smartphone camera); also :  the technology used to create augmented reality."  Think of it as a type of virtual reality, using the computer to copy your world. You are probably familiar with a tool created by Google which falls into this category: Google Glass. Although augmented reality has existed for a long time, we as teachers are only now grasping how to use it in the classroom.

Three Good Places to Find Music and Sounds for Multimedia Projects

Three Good Places to Find Music and Sounds for Multimedia Projects | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From practicaledtech.com - March 29, 2018 9:59 AM
Two weeks ago my tip of the week prompted a bunch of questions from readers regarding where to find and how to use music in multimedia projects. Much like with videos watched on YouTube or streamed through Netflix, just because you can listen to a piece of music online that doesn’t mean you necessarily have the rights to re-use it in a multimedia project. That’s why I recommend trying to find music and sound effects that are either in the public domain or have a Creative Commons license that allows for re-use.

The Ultimate Guide to Using Open Educational Resources

The Ultimate Guide to Using Open Educational Resources | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.thetechedvocate.org - April 8, 2017 6:19 AM
The idea that knowledge is power is not a new concept, however the idea that knowledge, resources, and information should be widely available and also free might be a slightly newer concept. Before the advancement of the internet and today’s technology, the idea of access to free information, teaching resources, and even online books was unheard of. If you wanted to learn about a topic, you could pay for the materials and or books to learn about your topic of interest. If you want to teach about a specific area, you needed to develop the materials yourself or pay for them. Many educators now believe that teaching materials and other information should be free. As we begin to share our resources as copyright free materials, we also open the idea globally that teaching, learning, and research materials should be accessible to everyone.  Edutopia notes that open educational resources can also save teachers significant time, planning, energy, and resources.
