Fair Use Questions/Double Entry Journal #5

1. Media in Education would be things such as showing a movie to a class as a reward, while Media Literacy in Education is more focused on the understanding, analysis, and deep thinking behind the media messages.
2. Cultural creativity.
3. It is more important today because of the ever-changing technology surrounding us.
4. Was the work used for a different purpose than it originally was meant and was the amount of the material used an appropriate amount.
5. Yes, because the teaching is using it to teach the students a concept. The movie is used to show the racial stereotypes, not just for entertainment.
6. Principle four, which is, student use of copyrighted materials for academic and creative work. It relates most strongly to my digital work because it was a hands on learning experience using media literacy, had a certain goal, and was also educational.
7. Yes, there should be just enough to teach the goal.
8. No, because as long as it still pertains to the school related assignment and isn’t taken out of context, it is okay to use in an educational setting.
9. It depends on the situation. If the school system’s rules are letting the teacher get everything accomplished that they need to for proper learning then they don’t need to worry about it.
10. I was surprised with the myth that talked about making money. I always assumed that as long as you weren’t profiting from it it was okay as well.



Yes, my digital story that I made for class does fall under the fair use guidelines. The pieces of media that I used were all used for a specific purpose, they all were given credit, they weren't used in an excessive amount, and they were used in an educational assignment by a student.
