Video
And Learning in the Language Arts Classroom
More and more teachers and students are using video technology
in the classroom for projects and instruction. By integrating
desktop video into the classroom, teachers can enhance the interest
in lessons and increase the motivation in students for creating
innovative projects.
Video
in the Social Studies Classroom
This resource guide's purpose is to provide you with a variety
of resources so you can make the best use of the videos you choose
to show in your classroom as well as smoothing the digital highway
as you take the sometimes rocky ride to video success.
Video
in the Intermediate Classroom
This guide includes tips for shooting, editing and sharing your
students iMovies. These pages are an excellent place for teachers
and students to start learning more about creating a video project.
Also included in this guide are examples of student created projects,
teacher made videos and staff development clips all made with
iMovie.
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
Digital cameras are becoming standard technology in schools. Students
are able to document field trip experiences, create original photography
for projects, and develop images for their school web sites with
digital cameras. This resource guide will outline how digital
cameras can be effectively used in the classroom!
The
Basics of QuickTime for Learning
QuickTime is Apple's platform-independent suite of files, applications,
and plug-ins for playing or interacting with a wide range of popular
media formats — everything from movies to live streaming video
to Flash animations to MP3 music files to interactive 3D environments.
In the world of education, schools around the world are using
QuickTime for collaboration, distance learning, and more. QuickTime
is the standard for digital video and streaming media. This Guide
provides a variety of information about QuickTime, including its
use in the classroom, technical support, streaming and VR features,
and more.
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.
