What do you think the best way would be for students to show/share their IMovie monologues? Would burning them all to a DVD work (and would that require a DVD per computer)? I'd love to hear ideas/suggestions!
They can save them as Quick Time files on their computers. You could upload them onto an external hard drive and show them with the LCD. Or, you could upload them onto some of the laptops and set up stations (I would get them off when you are done since they eat up space) for them to view. Leah said the website schooltube is for video sharing but be ware you are depending on the wireless signal.
Saving them as QT files is a good idea for archiving, and there's a setting within QT I usually use that makes the video clips pretty small (I could show you in person.) Another alternative might be through blip.tv, a cool (free) video sharing website that is relatively easy to use. I set up a blip.tv account for this blog, and so far I haven't had difficulty with wireless or DOE firewalls. Another option is pocket knowledge (http://pocketknowledge.tc.columbia.edu/home.php). I put a lot of stuff up there!
I like the idea of the QuickTime files. I really do not want to rely on the internet connection at school given its inreliability. Nor do I want to bog down the server with more stuff. Could one of you show me how to do this? Is there an external hard drive either of you recommend?
hey guys, i have a suggestion, since skye's ideas require internet connection, and i gotta tell you, that it's pretty bad, and miss erika's concern is the quantity of computers we might need, or how big are the files themselves, i think that you could use a usb hard drive. if these files are not too heavy, you can set any 30 gb ipod into hard drive use, you do that by restarting ur ipod, once the apple image shows you keep pressing, the center button and the play button, it will show a hard drive, and there you have it. you can easily upload all of the videos there, and then open them in one computer.
if finding an ipod is the problem, i offer my zune as a hard drive, if you can actually fix it, for some reason the battery doesn't charge, its brand new, and a 30 gb zune.

I hope this alternative comes useful for all.

Those are great ideas Juan, thanks for your comment!
