The Media Spot
Since September of 2007 we have been contributing to the development of The Code (released November 11, 2008), a coordinated effort by the media literacy community, supported by experts at American University and The Media Education Lab at Temple University to simplify the legalities of using copyrighted materials in an academic setting.
Last Friday, I was honored to represent TMS at a small group discussion between 18 educators and media literacy consultants to discuss fair use in media education at The Academy for Educational Development in Manhattan.
All content on themediaspot.org is created by The Media Spot in collaboration with learning environments such as schools, and the media literacy community at large. We hope to be a part of that community by building on what’s already been done, and in turn offering the content on this web site back to the community for reference and discussion.
Please note that privacy is of paramount importance to TMS. Refer to our privacy policy to read about how we handle participants’ personal information.
