Try Royalty Free Music. It's been recommended as useful for teachers.

From the site: If you are an educator who would like to use royalty free music in your classroom, click on the Free Music Programs link to submit an application to download stock music free of charge. Royaltyfreemusic.com's free music program gives educators free access to tracks from our stock music library to use in a variety of educational projects. Educators can download royalty free stock music, slideshow music, sound effects, and more for use in educational projects ...

Does anyone know of a good site for students making digital stories to get free music/audio clips?

Maybe some of the folks in this crew could give some thoughts and ideas on this post in the media specialists group?

Storytelling folks might enjoy these two posts about the poet, multimedia artist and “observationalist” Rives.

STUDENTS WRITING POETS: Rives Blog - Jessee

They are both in the Poets & Writers Group - check it out or join the group if you teach poetry or writing!!!

Hope you're ready for a mellow thanksgiving!

It's the Media Show here! We're all about using video to tell a story (well, many stories actually) about the media. Below is one about "greenwashing", but there are many more at http://www.youtube.com/themediashow

Hi all, please pass the attached flyers onto anyone you know in the South doing digital storytelling or interested in learning more about it. Berkeley-based Center for Digital Storytelling is coming to New Orleans for a training and regional meeting, and we'd like to bring as many Southern storytellers together as possible....NewOrleansDec09Announcement-2.pdfNewOrleansDecMeetingAnnouncement-1.pdf

Charlene - this is really cool - would you consider posting this in the discussion forum and posting a link to the contest - if you put it up top it will be archived and easily searchable for those who join the group later. Thanks for sharing this !!!

BTW - I am What I learn? What About "I Am The Eggman?"

Thanks,

Ryan

To get students invested in their education, President Barack Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan have announced a new video contest, asking students to "inspire" them with their stories. Advocates for educational technology say the contest is a great way to reach the digital generation and help students develop key 21st-century skills.

The contest, called "I Am What I Learn," is accepting entries from middle school, high school, and college students ages 13 and older. Students can submit videos up to two minutes long, and entries must be received by Nov. 2.

"Students share responsibility for their education and for fulfilling their dreams," said Duncan. "This video contest is an opportunity for young people to share their stories about where their education and career training can take them. At the same time, I encourage parents, schools, and communities to play a strong role in their stories by being accountable for forming stronger partnerships that guide students to their goals."

You might be interested in reading about UNESCO's call for an international Media Literacy Curriculum in the Media Education Discussion Forum - there's also an interesting blurb there about a French proposal to put warning labels on photoshopped models in magazines. Both articles were forwarded to me via Media Literacy Clearinghouse guru and MC Popper Frank Baker.

Enjoy! RRG:)
