Student created videos

http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/studentvideo/index.htm

This site is from the Encyclopedia of Educational Technology, so I immediately knew it would be useful. It gives the objectives, the process, the limitations, and links, associated with student created videos. It explains why student created videos are useful, and it lists six reasons. It provides aid by going through the 8 step process. It also gives links to multiple video editing sites. I believe this site would convince most skeptical teachers that student created videos are a good learning tool.

This site is for a product that teachers can buy to help integrate student created video in their subject matter. It's a $40 dollar book/guide which includes a CD with printable handouts and examples of student created videos. The site is somewhat unclear with some things, such as the "forum" and "workshop" options to choose on the main page. Both point you in the direction of contacting the moderator of the product. In general, this site is a good place for a teacher to start, and if I were a teacher $40 might be worth the investment.

I like this site because it immediately gives the questions (or issues) that are most appropriate for the typical student to ask. It has a lot of links to different sites that can answer questions more suited to what the student needs help with. It also discusses the common issue of cf converting docx word files to earlier word files via Zamzar (http://www.zamzar.com/), a site that converts it and also compress audio and video files
