Most of what has been shared in response to this issue strikes me as wrong. Please consult the attached document "Code of Fair Use in Media Education," a 20-page document (distributed freely--see note at end!) from Renee Hobbs' Media Education Lab.Code of Fair Use in Media Education.pdf

Thanks Patrina,
I guess I was working under the assumption that youtube screened for copyright violation and didn't put up anything that was in violation. Perhaps I was being naive. I think it's important that we regard artist's work with respect. I don't want to stumble here because of ignorance, but I feel like I'm in a mine field.

Suzanne,

In a brief consult with a lawyer on a film in education nonprofit I'm working up, he noted that screening anything that takes away from the royalties or sales of the artist's original work is a copyright violation. I'd be a bit cautious with Youtube as some of the clips are pirated versions of copyrighted materials. This pretty much limits class viewings of copyrighted films to brief illustrative clips. I've been in classes where film viewings were assigned as homework--students could then seek them out on Netflix or the local library.

Suzanne - your question is great and there are a lot of resources folks can point you toward to get answers - may I suggest this? Consider copying and pasting your question into the discussion forum above - that way I can broadcast your question on a crowdsource tuesday AND we can have the answers archived for everyone that visits later - wall comments tend to get buried.

Here is a post that explains how to turn your question below into a crowdsource question.

Thanks for starting a discussion!

I teach classes for the University of Phoenix. They are very clear that we can only use video only from youtube because of copy right permission issues.

Some of these other films and media sources look awesome but as far as I know when I teach at a for profit school or university I can't use anything but youtube without paying big copyright money--is this correct? Perhaps someone has more information for me.
Thanks
Suzanne

Adla, thank you for sharing those ideas! Gender and film units are fun. If you're going B&W a great counter point might be "Bringing Up Baby" with Cary Grant and K. Hepburn. You might also share your ideas in the Gender group!

I know this is really old, but I am in the process of teaching a unit called "Representations of Women." to a senior English (Language Arts) class and in this unit we teach a film. The film that I chose to teach was George Cukor's "Adam's Rib" with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Just a fantastic film. My students love it so much. I was quite reticent to show it to them given that it's black and white and the film focuses quite heavily on dialogue, rather than the quick interchanges students are used to today. I also chose to teach them some poetry in the unit, but I did use Nick Cave's murder ballad, "Where the Wild Roses Grow" to show how he appropriated parts of Robert Browning's dramatic monologue, "Porphyria's Lover." Just wanted to share. If anyone is interested in any resources, let me know. I know it's probably not everyone's preference, but they are two completely different moving images that students would not normally choose to consider themselves!

I was a juror for the youth and education category of a television festival in Germany last week, and this was our winning production: http://www.teachers.tv/video/29886. "Troubled Lives" from Teachers' TV in the UK uses animation to lend privacy to four young people who tell of their struggles with OCD, eating disorders, Asperger's Syndrome and self-harm.

I hope you find these as powerful as our jury did!

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

Hope you're ready for a mellow thanksgiving!
