Call for Crowd Wisdom: What Video, Photo, and Audio Archives Can Students Use for Mash-ups?

More education. Less schooliness.

Call for Crowd Wisdom: What Video, Photo, and Audio Archives Can Students Use for Mash-ups?

Real quick: I know about Archive.org, but what other online film, television, video, photo, and audio archives are there that give permission to students to use and edit for their own “digital essays,” a la Humanity Lobotomy?

Any specific sites, or lists of such sites on a wiki, that you can recommend?

If you like this post, please spread it: (But don't tag it "education." That will bury it.)

Here’s what resources I used when I did my American Dream movie project. And, here are the results. If I had to do it over again, I would have been much more stringent about the storyboarding portion. Marco Torres came to talk to us and his ideas for teaching storyboarding and brainstorming would, I think, generate much better work.

Good luck with the project. I’m also trying to figure out how to pull off the “digital essay” ala Human Lobotomy. It’s a completely different medium and the rules take awhile to get down.

Oh, and here is one pretty awesome example of a student digital essay that I think could be a model for the whole enterprise.
