On-Line Video
Teachers can use on line videos from sites like youtube.com or teachertube.com to support thier courses. Teachers can also create assignments where students create on-line videos. On-Line video assignments have a number of challenges compared to using Photostory. Students need access to a video camera, they must have enough disk space to save large files, they need to be familiar with a video editing suite and they need some method to transfer large files. Also privacy issues may come up with students video tapping themselves. However this is the future... this is why Google paid 1.6 B for youtube.com.
