Hi all, I have a confession to make. I'm not that excited about
today's agenda. The concept is hugely important, and Orwell's essay is
one of the best on the subject, but...
I don't know. Maybe it's just the feeling of coming back from a long weekend.
The
other big thing on my mind is fair use on the internet and the idea of
the remix. (You can see an old post with the videos I use to teach the
idea HERE.)
These concepts are also extremely important for us, because they give
us new ways to learn and share what we know. Understanding fair use
also helps us establish ourselves as knowledgeable digital citizens
(translated: no one on the internet who sees your respect for legally
protected original content will think of you as a lying, cheating,
stealing douche bag, which means they will be less likely to sue you,
charge you with a crime, or sabotage your good name on social media).
I'm
leaning toward hijacking my own agenda, starting the week with this,
and then using it to remix Orwell's essay. Please let me know what you
think in class, or comment to this post.
