Greetings and Welcome to Week 2 of Comic Life online!
It's time to move on, but please continue to add to the discussions and anchor chart throughout the course. All entries in this blog are protected and will not expire.
One of the reasons why we need to create a curriculum related storyboard before the beginning of Week 2 is because the content, which is related to Ministry expectations, is the priority.
Oftentimes when students do a project with images, they choose their images first and then create the content to match –which does not necessarily support the curriculum. Thus, when using Comic Life with students, do not let them proceed with image collection until their storyboards are developed and checked for accuracy and understanding of both content and conventions.
That being said, once the storyboards are checked and corrected, and before any image collection takes place, please make sure to discuss copyright – which is the first activity for this week.
Survey and Share
1. If possible, survey your students and see what their thoughts are on using digital images from the Internet to do school work.
How do they feel about copyright?
• Should digital images be free to use if they are posted online?
• Is it necessary in this collaborative age of online sharing to have such strict laws?
2. What strategies have you used to model copyright and appropriate use of images, text, music etc...in the classroom?
3. Copyright is not the easiest subject to discuss with students - Read the attached comic book on Copyright and comment on your reaction to the text, layout etc…
• How do you think your students will react to copyright if they read about it in comic form?
Please share your thoughts and respond to someone else's ideas!
