Frank Sinatra - "High Hopes" with Jack Kennedy - 1960 campaign song

This is the campaign song for JFK while he is running for president in 1960. The song is sung by Frank Sinatra with a slid show of images from the campaign. I do not believe that this violates copyright laws. It would be being used for an educational purpose and if you only played 30 seconds of the song while the students are walking into class it would be fine. Furthermore, you could also purchase the song off of i-tunes and play the song for free. Overall the maker of this slide show is abiding by copyright laws. I think this would be a great resource to have playing while the students walk into the classroom.

Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration

I believe this video clip does not break copy right law. Some people might not agree because the music is taken from a popular song and one of the main lines from the song is used from the popular song. I believe that from the fair use policy that I studied that this movie would fall underneath it. It would be an exciting way to catch your students attention. This movie is produced for education purposes by Soomo Publishing. The images are original to the company. I did some more research into this site and found it actually very helpful. The site is dedicated helping create effective teaching through technology and new methods. Here is the link to the website: http://soomopublishing.com/home/what

Well, I created my first Personal Learning Network via Google reader.  I connected to a couple of blogs about different history teaching ideas.  However, it took be about a week to figure out how to copy the screen to show that I had done this on Google reader.  It turns out that I have a genius roommate who knew how to copy it.  It was really easy.  I just hit the function key and the print screen and now I am going to copy the picture into the blog post.

However, it did not turn out to be as easy as I thought.  You had to copy the image into paint.  Which I had never used before to copy into paint you have to press control v.  So you were pasting from the clipboard into your program. 

Introduction

Hi my name is Danielle Duffy.  I am a senior at BYU majoring in history teaching.  I am enrolled in IP&T 286 so I am learning more about how to incorporate technology in the classroom. 

I really enjoy the outdoors also.  Last weekend I hiked to the top of Mt. Timp.
