Jim Vernon, the MSU Media Lab video master, has created a web site for teachers who want to know how to use video to enhance their teaching. Jim has spent many years using video with students of all ages, and has condensed his experience onto these useful pages. Give them a look. The site includes an e-mail link to Jim, so you can make suggestions for improvements or let him know if the site is beneficial to you.

We’ve been using video for years in a variety of subjects. In English we’ve made movies and created video storybooks. Video in science has also been extremely useful especially when recording experiments. When studying dispersal of food coloring in different temperatures of water, we first run the video of the food coloring in slow motion watching as the drop first breaks the surface. Then, we speed up the motion to see how the coloring disperses. Also, stopping the action is useful; however, we don’t have a high-speed camera so it tends to be a bit blurred. Finally, time-lapse photography using a shareware program — the name escapes me. We just watched radish seeds germinate and then a weekend of plant growth. Video is extremely useful and compared to 10 years ago, its cheap and easy.

The program Bart is using for time lapse is SingleFramer. It runs on the Macintosh OS 10 operating system. It is available as a free download from VersionTracker and a number of other places. It also lets you use a firewire video camera to do other forms of video animation.
