As a library media specialist who teaches everyone from kindergarten through fifth grade, I see this as a great idea for some of the projects we do in the library. Students usually go to PowerPoint right away because that is what they know. I know it would take a lot of careful planning, but it would be beneficial for the students as well as a lot of fun. Hi,

Interesting isn't it how the same plan/profile could be used, with minimal adjustment, to give a beginner advice on how to write a blog post? So many projects like 'making a movie' have their processes clouded in the intricacy of the associated technologies. It doesn't have to be that way. Nice one. <b>Catchya later</b> from Middle-earth Kia ora Mathew!

That said, I didn't have my students transfer video from tape. We did, however, use digital still cameras and scans to make movies. I think that students can do anything if you show them how.

I have one more question:) Did you find converting the video from tape to be too much for the students (ie did you convert it to a format you could play on the computer for editing?). I was looking at this exact video camera, but the tape format made me a little nervous. Thanks!

See, for example, the Canon ZR930. I believe that some of the low-end Canons do have microphone inputs. See, for example, the Canon ZR930.

I have one question, what kind of video camera are you using? I have been agonizing over this b/c the inexpensive models do not seem to have audio jacks and I want to have the option of an external mike. Any thoughts on that? Thanks! Hi,
