Activity How Do I Use Digital Video In The Classroom? Description Digital video has been with us for a while now but with the introduction of good quality, affordable, simple-to-use camcorders ( and mobile phones) it has really taken off especially since it can now be shared with the world over the internet. Nothing quite motivates children as much as video and they love the latest Flip camcorders since they are so portable and easy to operate. It really is a case of video anytime, anywhere. This training will show you how to use whatever kind of video camera you may already have and what software to use for editing in order to produce footage with titles, music, animations etc. A selection of Flip Ultras can be brought in for educators to try out. You might wish to produce a DVD for internal use or distribution to parents. Alternatively perhaps you would like to include video in some online work you’re planning for your pupils.
