Day 4: Multimedia & Copyright

Multimedia is using the computer to present something with text, graphics, video, animation, and sound. It's using several media tools to communicate to an audience.

I appreciated the information provided in the copyright/fair use guidelines articles. A safe role to take is to assume that all works are protected and seek permission to reproduce or display someone's work; to give credit where credit is due.

I had considered reading from a children's book for my podcast, but after reviewing these articles, I think I'll change my topic. The restrictions listed in percentages of text and graphics seems overwhelming at this time. I want to stay within the limits of reason, even if it is for educational purposes.

Your idea on doing a podcast on geocaching is great. I would love to use that some time in my own room as a starter for my little ones to understand geocaching. I have done a version of geocaching with my students using my parents as helpers.
