Visual Technology

A small idea of creating digital videos:

There is an interesting site called "playing with time" that brought some ideas to mind regarding students' use of digital images. It was really interesting that this particular company "says" that they will lend you a digital camera to undergo an interesting "playing with time project". The ideas seem really simple, (days getting longer, the transformation of an architectural building, etc) but of course can be extrapolated to fit another educational setting. Students can create images, piece them together in a video and explain the event in detail.


An interesting note that creates a strong argument for needing digital cameras in the school.
The web provides many images for students to use as stimuli, but these images are mostly small, and if students want to work within powerpoint, they have to choose images larger than 200 dpi.

A great video explaining the use of digital tools (PPT, photostory)
