Please help spread the word: KET Wants Student Videos About Being Good and Safe Digital Citizens
Upload and share news stories, public service announcements, and classroom projects! Enter February 17 to Friday May 2, 2014, to to win one of two greenscreen kits!In addition to our year-round invitation to share student-produced videos on all subjects at KET's School Video Project website, the KET School Video Project Challenge—Digital Citizenship, is an opportunity to integrate multimedia technology and media studies with Kentucky Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Technology in a fun activity for project-based learning. And, it's a chance to win a greenscreen and light kit for making more great student projects!
Project focus is on school and community efforts to help Kentucky students be good and safe digital citizens, respectful of others' rights and feelings while protecting themselves as they navigate the Internet, make and share multimedia projects, participate in social networking, and develop critical media awareness. Student videos can be brief projects like PSAs (public service announcements) on safe and respectful digital behavior (not texting while driving); news-story explorations on how to develop media awareness and critical viewing skills; recorded discussions and solutions to common problems such as cyber-bullying and more.

From Jeff Gray:
http://www.ket.org/education/svp/video_uploader.php?display=content&projectid=1. There, you’ll see information on copyright law for educators and students, and a list with links to media sources that allow use of media in school projects as long as you credit the source. A popular website for free-to-use with credit music is www.incompetech.com, by Kevin MacLeod. He’s a professional composer who puts a lot of great original music online for everyone to use as long as you give him credit at the end of your production. He has a page showing you how. Great stuff, take a look.
And yes, students always want to use their favorite pop star’s music in their productions, but they can’t do it legally. “Fair Use Guidelines” for schools allow using up to 30 seconds of a copyrighted music title, but if you broadcast or upload a student video project out of the classroom or school – such as online to the KET website for sharing – then all copyright rules are in force, and that means you have to get the copyright holder’s permission to use the original work.
Alternatives to using copyrighted media include: using media in the public domain (Google “public domain media” for sites, and we list some also), using music from a purchased music collection designed for project use (available from online sellers or video production equipment companies), or have students make their own music, either with their own instruments or with computer/portable device applications or apps like “GarageBand” and other similar titles (search online and/or in the Apple iTunes store). Note that a “cover” or recorded student performance of a copyrighted music title can be a copyright violation, so they shouldn’t do that, either, unless the music isn’t copyrighted, sorry.
