Join this action-packed session where learners are also teachers, anyone can publish, cell phones are our friends, and engaging media is essential. See you there.

Many would agree that today's young people are media savvy--they know how to use mobile phones, download music; upload video/photos to social networking web pages---but, they are not necessarily media literate. Many believe everything they see, read and hear.

Media literacy in the 21st century means different things to different people.

Join national media education consultant Frank Baker as he explains what media literacy is; explores what it means in the nation's K-12 schools; and what it means to you, the media producer.

Movie Magic: Understanding the special effects of copyright

Presenters: Carrie Russell, Copyright Specialist, ALA Washington Office

Office for Information Technology Policy, and Dwayne K. Buttler, J.D.

Professor, University of Louisville, KY

Using motion pictures, movies, films, video, or whatever we call such works today - youtube - raises copyright issues. The more traditional concerns result from "performance rights" and the possible "public" performance of these works. More complex questions arise under what are increasingly digital uses and "performances." This session will focus briefly on the exclusive rights of copyright, including performances rights, and concentrate on exceptions to them, such as fair use, face-to-face teaching, and online performances under the TEACH Act.
