Use photography in education vs Intellectual Property




The possibilities of using photography in education are limited. On the one hand are the same limitation with recording equipment. A much greater limitation is, however, the reluctance of teachers to new technology and the fear of "secondary education" that is, before transformed the role of pupil and teacher. In many cases, the student feels better in the digital world and it is a lot of situations involving the use of digital devices can better solve the teacher. Abandoning some limitations especially the mental photograph gives a lot of opportunities support the educational process. Here are some examples of how through the use of photography can activate students.
- Realization of tasks on the empirical objects such as biology, geography. With photography student can perform the task of finding the natural conditions and fixation elements fauna or flora, selected by the teacher.
- Realization of tasks on technical subjects such as fine arts. By using photography student can create works of art, collages. Combine different techniques of fixation of the world around him.
- Realization of tasks on social subjects. With photography student can carry out tasks involving the visualization of human behavior, try to capture the characteristic behavior of showing emotions.
These are just three examples of possible use of photography in school. Of course, the image recording device itself is not enough. For jobs to be performed and then discussed in class are required basic electronic devices such as computer, multimedia projector or blackboard. But the most important element is the teacher. A teacher who has an idea of ​​activating a student and inducing its own creative work.
Another major limitation of the use of photography in education are the intellectual property. In this case, copyright. Each photo should have disclosed to the public consent of the owner to its publication. In front of the problem facing Internet photo Stock. Shops selling the photos along with the rights to their publication. This allows teachers and authors of books can create books and teaching aids without worrying about legal problems.




information privacy vs exhibitionism in internet

The wide availability and the possibility of shooting anyone, anywhere carries a lot of positives but also many risks.
The young age of the Internet is virtually free. Very often the material published contain prohibited content, and pornography. The main reason for this is poorly understood by young people the term "anonymity" in the network, it seems that since sent a picture of a fake e-mail address does not bear any responsibility. This behavior is particularly evident at sites such forums. Very often you can see how people are using the "anonymity of the Internet" offend other people, their behavior and views.
What is a virtual exhibitionism? There is need to show off a vague group of people known something of his life. Since in our country when the first social networking site debuted on a national "our class," many people's lives has been radically changed. The idea of ​​joining a social network friends from the former class of schools was very positive. It is at this site for the first time I met on a large scale with the phenomenon of virtual exhibitionism. Like mushrooms after the rain began to show profiles in which the owners have chosen as the main goal to show through photographs of their new car, holiday destination. While you can still try to understand the character trait that is the appreciation of each other by bragging that no one can understand the owners of photographs depicting nude profiles. It was strangely understood anonymity liberated exhibitionist in them. After the success of the portal "our class" in the network began to appear different to the foundations of social networking sites. Unfortunately, these portals have begun to achieve success largely to interfere in the realm of sexuality on the principle of promoting the image and the opportunity to learn about other people. A good example are the portals, "liking" and "photo". While the first portal is in its name and purpose of connecting people in a pair of the latter is geared mainly to the publication of photographs. It would seem that it can not be more incentive for people to publish information about themselves on the market until it appeared in the current social networking giant in the market namely Facebook. This powerful device for bringing together millions of people around the world virtually uzależniło from publishing your photographs, descriptions of emotions, information about his life. Who among us does not know the saying, "I like it" and "I'm on facebook"

Virtual exhibitionism has led to the fact that it is very easy to obtain private information about people. Unfortunately, in most cases we are given into our data collection company that deals with personal data. Of course there are cases of theft of our data, however, is not that we are guilty of that so blithely share it.

What is ICT?

What is ICT?


ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Tecnology
However, apart from explaining an acronym, there is not a universally accepted defininition of ICT? Why? Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes - they happen so fast.
Lets focus on the three words behind ICT:
- INFORMATION
- COMMUNICATIONS
- TECHNOLOGY
A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organisations use information.
ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots.
So ICT is concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation, transmission or receipt of digital data. Importantly, it is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with each other.


The expression was first used in 1997 in a report by Dennis Stevenson to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000.


At the conclusion, ICT in funny movie.
