Webcast Audio Seminar Series

 

Educational Technology Toolkit: A Consumer’s Guide

 

Finding, Organizing and Using Free Media Resources

Presented by Suzanne Stensaas
University of Utah

 

Description

In this one-hour Audio Seminar, will focus on Media Resources you can use. Ideally, resources should be easy to find, download, store, retrieve, and of course, properly credit. Impossible, you say, because my university lawyers have me totally intimidated about using or sharing anything.  Well, the situation is much better than you think. Yes, we have Google Images and Google Video, but better yet find and use material managed by the Creative Commons license, http://creativecommons.org/.

Prior to the webcast a list of URL shared resources will be provided for you to explore.  Have some to share? mailto:Suzanne.Stensaas@hsc.utah.edu

Discover URL Manager Pro, http://www.url-manager.com, if you are on a Mac, or similar PC utility for managing your bookmarks.  If you are just getting started and looking for ”reusable learning objects” try www.healcentral.org to download video, animations and images. HEAL Local, http://www.healcentral.org/services/servicesHEAL_Local.jsp, is just being released for organizing downloaded or institutional image resources and managing them on your own computer.  A report of the beta test will be discussed.  Other image management systems, such as iPhoto (Mac), can also be used by novices. 

Objectives of the session:

  1. Find and identify resources on the web you can freely incorporate in your teaching material without hiding behind passwords.
  2. Consider what system you are going to use to organize and retrieve your resources once you start to accumulate them.
  3. Learn the power and joy of sharing materials across the globe in addition to across your campus.
