Video in the Classroom

Video has been used in the classroom setting for many years now. However, with the advent of broadband data speeds and video sharing sites available on the web, the days of lugging a TV/VCR cart to class and the guesswork of winding (and rewinding) tapes are happily over. Sharing video is easier, and student video projects have become easier as well, with free digital editing software and raw materials readily available online.

For help and ideas on how to use digital video in the classroom, see the resources listed below.
