Thing 19: Tubes
Posted by: miranda in Uncategorized, tags: teachertube, thing 19, youtubeI have been a user of TeacherTube and YouTube for a year. My favorite feature is the playlist. I have saved videos I want to see again, or show a particular class and I organize them by subject, instrument, country or class. I see there is a friends option on T.T. I can imagine it would be great to connect with other music teachers to share favorite, useful or funny videos. I have a video I made of a 4th grade class performing music created out of exploration of Langston Hughes’ “Dream” poems and I combined it with drawings the kids made in their classroom that illustrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. I can’t wait to figure out how to upload it to T. T. (I have an appointment with one of tech people to help me on Monday!) I found a listening map of Saint-Saens’ Aquarium. I would like to make some of my own listening maps. Does Creative Commons permissions extend to using Flickr images in a video as long as you give credit? I have 5 and 6 year olds exploring Chris Raschka’s picture book Giant Steps based on music of the same name by John Coltrane. They are “drawing” the sound of the music. I could take digital images of the drawings, add the music (assuming it’s okay with copyright) and make a video. My biggest concern is how do you get around the issue of using video that shows kids? I can’t imagine this is ok, although I see many music performances (some dreadful) with hundreds of kid faces. They can’t have gotten permission from all those families. On TeacherTube I found a fun video to share. I don’t speak French, but if you watch past the intro it is worth it. It looks like a French version of American Idol except this guy has special talent. He can beat box and sing at the same time. You’ve got to see it to understand it. French Beat Box Download Video: Posted by sdunn at TeacherTube.com.
