Beyond YouTube: Teaching and Learning with Video and Images Is this a new course?__Y___ As more and more information is acquired by our students through non-print media such as television, movies and the Internet, the ability to analyze and think critically about these images becomes a very important 21st century skill. Visual images are a language and as such, communicate ideas that we are not always aware of. The Scarsdale School District subscribes to several educational video-on-demand and digital image resources that enable teachers of all grades and subject areas to easily download and create personal image collections for classroom use. Teachers can learn to use these tools to create innovative presentations and activities so that students develop skills of visual analysis and creativity. In this course, participants will learn to use the historic and contemporary image, graphics and video collections from subscription databases (ARTStor, AP Image archive, United Streaming, Clearview Media) as well as open access Internet collections. Hands-on instruction will focus on search techniques for locating curriculum-related artifacts, downloading files, compiling image collections for classroom use and simple manipulation of images. Instruction and discussion will focus on interpreting and analyzing images, recognizing and addressing issues of bias and manipulation of visual media, and learning about current copyright laws and related issues. Participants will develop classroom activities that teach students to locate, analyze and interpret images and to develop their own images and collections that communicate original ideas.
