Teaching with Digital Video — from ISTE by Lynn Bell and Dr. Glen L. Bull
With digital video, your students can:
Watch a demonstration of the speed of sound
Analyze classmates’ poetry performances
Create videos that document cultural differences
And the best part is that it’s engaging. Your students are most likely already watching, creating, uploading, and sharing digital video in their spare time, so why not incorporate this tool they already enjoy in the classroom?
Bull and Bell bring together lesson plans, ideas, and resources aligned with the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) and content-area standards so that you can use digital video in the classroom effectively. The book also includes information on acquiring, creating, and communicating with digital video.

1. Video Internal Sites – Business “YouTube”: As the use of video for internal learning and knowledge within organizations grows, there is a growing desire to have a “Business YouTube” site behind the firewall. Organizations are approaching this task quite divergently. Here are a few of the strategies that we are tracking:
– Implementation of Dedicated Video Site:
Some organizations are building or buying systems that are dedicated to the storage and publishing of video. We recently experimented with Cisco’s Show and Share as an example of this approach. The systems provide the ability for colleagues to submit (and sometimes even edit) video for approval. There are also social media functions that allow for ratings, comments and re-distribution of the video.
– Use of Collaborative Platform:
Other organizations are building their internal video collections in collaborative environments such as SharePoint. I’ve seen a few groups re-aggregate video from multiple SharePoint sites into a common front end that has a YouTube functionality and look and feel.
– LCMS Based Video Hosting:
Another route is to use the native or extended functionality of the Learning Content Management Systems as a video hosting site. LCMS and LMS vendors are adding features and layers to their Learning Systems to manage video segments.
The MASIE Center is tracking this shift quite closely. Watch for several new systems and capabilities to arise in the near future. For example, organizations that are using Google Apps will have the original feature sets of YouTube at their disposal. And, other groups are working on video that will play easily on a wide range of mobile devices. Note: This topic is addressed at our upcoming Video for Learning LAB.
The Pogoplug connects your USB drive to the Internet
so you can easily share and access your files from anywhere.
“Putterman, 43, began to wonder: Why hasn’t anyone created a gizmo that plugs into your personal hard drive and connects it to the Internet, allowing you to access your files directly, from your own hard drive, anywhere? You’d have no service fees or upload quotas. A password system could grant chosen friends and colleagues access to your data, too.”

Coincident TV (CTV) is transforming the way interactive video content is created, consumed and monetized. Coincident TV enables immersive “hypervideo” experiences – the real-time integration of online video with social media, weblinks and transactions. The Coincident TV software suite allows content creators and distributors to easily design, manage and measure interactive video engagements across all digital platforms, including both HTML5 and Flash.
