Imagine you are an 11th grade student taking American History today. Your teacher walks into the classroom and asks you to create a video that discusses the significance of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, but you can only use found footage on YouTube for the project. Does that sound nuts? Many red alarms may sound off in your head. "Our school does not allow YouTube!" or "Isn't that in violation of copyright?" or "How are my students going to create a video for school?" or "What learning value would this offer my students?" or "What Standards address this assignment?" These are all very important questions that educators should ask. There are probably a ton more. Much value can be added to learning when producing remix videos. The process can help to reinforce online research skills, understanding of fair use and copyright law, along with building an argument with several rhetorical strategies in a digital format that strengthens digital literacy competencies. And now, remixing videos does not require students' understanding of video editing systems like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. Media production can happen on free web-based applications like Zeega or Mozilla's Popcorn where you can aggregate media online into your own project. This presentation will provide educators with many media production options for their students to use instead of write the traditional essay. Teachers will come away with knowledge of some amazing new web sites that are free, have a low learning curve, and really engage project-based learning in the 21st Century.
