Grade 7's VC with Lawrence Lessig

I think this is so great! A grade 7 teacher is teaching his class about media and copyright issues so what does he do? He invites Lawrence Lessig from Stanford University to have a conversation with his class! Talk about real time learning and student engagement! What an excellent model for using effective conferencing to have effective conversations with students about ownership of information and appropriate use! Take a look at the video clips, wonderful stuff... Thanks for the tweet,@willrich45

Copyright and Media

Will Richardson has an interesting comment about copyright and how Web 2.0 has changed how we must approach new media. Are our children criminals or are they only doing what they think is normal? Interesting ideas with references to Lawrence Lessig and Creative commons. Check it out. http://weblogg-ed.com/2008/our-kids-as-criminals/
