8. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Traditional Video Technologies Recorded Video Because it is asynchronous, this format is the format of choice for schools Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs) playback video recorded on VHS tape Tapes may prerecord programs that occurred at inconvenient times or may be commercially prepared Playback, copyright permitting, can be easily scheduled into classroom time

9. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Traditional Video Technologies Recorded Video A single large monitor or multiple smaller monitors provide viewing from all parts of the classroom Many digital projectors can also accept VCR input for large group projection Camcorders can also record video images of class or instructional activities for later VCR playback

10. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Traditional Video Technologies Video Discs Optical discs which can hold 30 minutes of analog recording on each side Require a video disc player attached to a monitor Allowed direct access to each frame of the video so short segments could be easily found and played Now mostly replaced by DVDs but many are still available in school media centers

11. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Basics Digital video images allow for limitless editing Instructional annotation can be added to any frame Frames may be rearranged for better instructional emphasis Digital video can be added to many digital files (presentations, web sites, etc)

12. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Basics Digital video can be taken with a digital video camera or can be converted from analog video Full motion digital video files are very large with 3 minutes of video requiring 1 gig of storage Video compression helps remedy the file size problem

13. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Basics Compressed files require video compression playback software such as MS Media Player, Real Player, and Quick Time to decompress and playback video AVI, MPEG, and MOV are the most popular compression formats Check players to be sure which formats they can handle

14.

15. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Capture Analog video can be converted to digital via a video capture expansion card External jacks on the card allow analog video input from VCR, cable, etc. Card captures, compresses, and stores the video on the computer’s hard drive Video editing software makes it possible to edit captured video

16. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Cameras Capture and store moving images as digital files rather than on VHS tape Digital files can then be downloaded to computer and adjusted with editing software Video clips can then be played back on computer monitors or projected via displays Clips can also be inserted into presentations, email, etc

17. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Digital Video Editing Video editing requires either dedicated hardware or software for a computer Editing hardware offers maximum editing capabilities but is expensive so it is usually used for class or business video production Editing software can run on a PC but it typically does not have high-end editing features such as special effects

18. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Compressed Video Systems (CVS) Live compressed video images are transmitted but the large files require significant bandwidth CVS are dedicated, often room-size systems that are designed to use high-speed, broadband phone lines leased for their use CVS include video cameras, monitors, microphones and codecs at all locations. CVSs offer real-time, interactive live video interaction to all locations with a CVS in place

19. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Internet Video Live compressed video images can also be transmitted across the Net Images are not as clear or steady as with a CVS Internet video broadcasts (webcasts) offer streaming video to shorten wait times With emerging compression technologies, interactive Net video will more useful for schools

20. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Live Cams Live cameras connected to computers logged into the Internet offer live digital video feeds Many live cams are focused on subjects of educational interest Students can view live cams by visiting the website that features the live cams images Some live cam sites are questionable so all must be carefully previewed before using

21. Teaching and Learning with Technology  Allyn and Bacon 2002 Digital Video Technologies Internet Meetings Live digital video across the Net can also be used for virtual meetings Meeting software may include not only video and audio, but also shared work space, a shared virtual electronic whiteboard, and chat Educators can adapt meeting software to let students interact and work collaboratively with their peers around the globe
