The Digital Comic Museum 5 Smart Ways To Use Digital Images In The Classroom 5 Smart Ways To Use Digital Images In The Classroom by Mike Acedo It is well known, that the 21st century student is constantly bombarded with digital imagery. It is argued that with so much visual stimulation, it had become harder for students to keep their focus, hampering concentration, and hindering their ability to process information. It is important for students to be able to use images as a tool to advance their own knowledge and achievement. 5 Smart Ways To Use Digital Images In The Classroom Visual Biographies In many aspects of education, a student’s true potential shines through when the subject is personal to them. Teachers can tap into this in a variety of ways; such as having students create visual biographies that represent their lives. These images can symbolize important events, people, or places in their lives. Slideshows can subsequently be presented to the class, giving classmates the opportunity to peek into the personalities of their peers. Photo Essays Photojournalism

Digital Literacy This is reblogged from my article at PLP Voices The Internet has made a myriad of material readily available to a vast audience. Along with these seemingly infinite resources has come a lot of confusion about how images and other content published online should be legally recognized, protected or used. As educators, we often struggle in navigating that road. I recently read an amusing but instructive article entitled “PSA: Don’t Let Salami and Google Images Get You In Hot Water.” In my classroom, we use a lot of image-based content. One thing we have learned to look for is material with a Creative Commons License. “A Creative Commons license is used when an author wants to give people the right to share, use, and even build upon a work that they have created. There are literally 10′s of millions of images on the Internet specifically covered by one of the six copyright licenses currently established under the Creative Commons protocols.

First World War Origins The First World War was caused by the destabilisation of the balance of power in Europe due to the rise of Germany. The war began in 1914 when Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia because of the assassination of an archduke. Countries had made alliances with each other, and soon most of Europe was at war. New Zealand was part of the British Empire, and when Britain declared war on Germany, in August 1914, that meant New Zealand was at war too. The two sides were called the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary) and the Allies, which included the British Empire, Russia and France. New Zealand enters the war New Zealand decided to send soldiers to fight in the war for a number of reasons, including New Zealand’s strong ties to Britain and its concern with keeping trade routes open so it could continue to export to Britain. Within a month New Zealand troops had occupied Western Samoa, which was a German territory. Gallipoli Turkey had entered the war on the Central Powers side.

DigitalNZ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: Google Now Makes It Easier to Search for Licensed Images January 14, 2014 With this new update to Google Image Search, users now can search for images by licensing rights under the " search tools " which is in the front page. Before this update and in order for users to sort their search results, they had to access it through "Advanced search "which was not convenient enough as many people don't even bother with it. This tidbit was shared by a tweet by Matt Cutts , Google spam engineer, and I learned about it from the Next Web. Here is a snapshot of the location of "usage rights" in Google Image
