Digital Video Made Easy
Digital video in education is a motivator like none other. Kids love to create, and they love to see themselves on screen. With digital video, they can take off with their wonderful ideas. Even primary students.

Using Digital Cameras

Video Learning for Mathematics
Video Learning for Mathematics The most important series of events in the study of mathematics is the continuing development of techniques to analyze motion; therefore, a true understanding of modern math requires motion - which cannot be easily displayed by textbooks. Computer video is an emerging method for presenting mathematics with the time dimension intact. There are a number of ways that moving pictures can be used in the classroom.

Video Learning for Science
We are on the verge of a visual information revolution. Unlike in the past, where we could only borrow professionally made movies for the classroom, now they can be taylor-made by teachers, or by students themselves. Teachers can make videos with content specific to their class. Students can make movies that document their activities or the progress of an experiment. The resources in this guide provide software for use in the lab, as well as general information on use of computer video software and devices..


 


Tips for Making Your Movie
This Apple Education's site presents a fun way to learn the basics of video production.


Try iMovie with Still Pictures
If you have iMovie software and a still digital camera, have your students take pictures and then load them into your computer to create a movie. Think of a topic that your children can capture on film and then begin shooting! You'll be surprised at how simple it is for your students to do this.

Video and Field Trips
Don't forget to take the video camera and/or digital camera along on field trips. Students enjoy documenting their adventures and using the film (still or video) to create projects (Web pages, iMovies, bulletin boards, presentations, thank you notes, etc.) about the trip.

Playground Safety Video
To emphasize the importance of safety on the playground, have students produce a video showing the correct and cooperative actions during recess. They'll love planning and filming. Using Apple's iMovie technology, they can edit to create that special product they'll want to share with other classes and their parents


FireWire
When you are taking video from a video camera to your computer, you may be going through a high speed FireWire or IEEE connection. If you have a digital video camera, you'll probably find a FireWire or IEEE port on your camera

SMPTE
Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. The organization that sets many of the television and film standards. Like SMPTE time codes and SMPTE color bars.
