1. What is the difference between media in education vs media literacy education?

There are differences between media in education and media literacy education. The difference is media in education is used to entertain students, and to teach students information they need to know to suceed. An example would be the TV. The TV is ther to show movies on, and those movies could either entertain or be informative. Media literacy education is where the students learn how to read, write, and communicate with others. An example would be the computer. Although the computer is used for find information on; it is also used to teach students how to write better, be a good reader, and to have good communication skills.

3. Why is fair use more important today?

Yes this is fair use becuase the students are not getting any money out of answering this question. As long as they site where they got the information; they are ok for fair use.

6. Which principle relates most strongly to the digital story you created in class? Explain.

Principle four:Student use of copyrighted materials in their own academic and creative work. Our digital stories are pictures put together to tell a story. These pictures have a meaning of what kind of teacher we want to be. We shared our videos by putting them on Youtube. People are able to view them whenever they want to.  

10. What common myth about fair use surprised you the most?

Myth: If I'm not making any money off it, it's fair use.(and if I am makng money off it, its not). I did not have any idea that it is not fair use if you make money off of any media project.
