Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Purpose:
The overarching purpose of this session is to find ways to have students create content-rich media while following copyright rules. During this session, we will discuss copyright and collaborate together on strategies to teach students about copyright. Tools will be shared to use with students to create various forms of media. At the time of this proposal, specific tools may include Canva, Adobe Spark Video Maker, and Animoto. However, these tools are subject to change. We will also share how these tools can enrich experiences for students with special needs. Several other tools will be highlighted, although participants will not have time to try out all of the other tools (such as Big Huge Labs, Sway, Genially, Book Creator, Snappa, Crello, Design Wizard, Pable, Smore, and others). We will also share how Immersive Readers and Microsoft Translate can be used as students create their projects.

Objectives:
- Participants will define copyright and collaborate strategies to teach students about copyright.
- Participants will create media using a variety of tools that may include: Canva, Adobe Spark Video Maker, Synth, Big Huge Labs, Animoto, and others, while demonstrating awareness of copyright.
- Participants will leverage their lesson plans and activities by including copyright-friendly media projects for their students including both visual media and auditory media.
