As teachers seek to inspire their students in technology usage, images should always be taken into consideration. Many students have artistic talents that can be challenged in their usage of images and technology. Children can learn basic techniques of cropping and resizing images and adding them to their class projects. Children also learn to research for images to add to book reports or research projects. Many children are already using digital cameras to create and edit videos to post on my-space and such.
In terms of the NETS-T, the publication of images should be addressed in the same way as any other publication downloaded and cited from the internet. Students need to be responsible with images just as they would with any other information.

I agree with your statement that images are protected under the NETS-T standards. In addition, children need to understand the legality of using photos found on the internet, because some are not allowed to be used without permission from the original publisher. The younger we start teaching children how to properly use the images they find, the less likely they will abuse the privilege.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you started out discussing the creative talents that can be brought out with the use of digital images.
ReplyDeleteMost of you are concerned about copyright issues with the use of images from the Internet.
