You might want to see if there is anything more interesting in here
to talk about at Monday's FCE meeting on group indexing.
Scott,
Would any of these alternatives be something we could use for the
video portion of Classroom 2000?
Thanks,
Gregory

Here are a set of links that you might be interested in checking out.
All deal with computers/technology in classrooms.
Below that I have appended a description of CVideo, a system that may be useful
for the Classroom 2000 project.

CVideo is a video annotation tool that lets you analyze, annotate and
easily locate specific scenes on your videotapes and laserdiscs.
CVideo integrates a special word processor with a video controller. The
video controller provides direct control of your video player with single
keystrokes and mouse clicks.
The word processor lets you take notes and stamp start and end times that
link each note to a video scene. Once your video is annotated, CVideo can
fast forward or rewind automatically to a specific video scene or text
note.
CVideo's word processor format supports a great variety of representations
including content logs, transcripts, and keyword coding schemes. Moreover,
users can mix and match a variety of annotation strategies within a single
document: keywords, transcript, and analytic comments can be intermingled
freely. The Find command enables users to search their text for a keyword
or phrase, and the Collect All command gathers the resulting set of
annotations into a list.
CVideo links your Mac to a video player via a simple cable. It runs on any
Apple(R) Macintosh(R) computer, with no need for special video cards or a
lot
of computer memory. CVideo can be used with any television monitor and
works with popular makes of VCRs and camcorders, including Sony LANC and
Visca devices.
Finally, CVideo now gives you nearly unlimited flexibility in how you
record and view you video notes. Using the custom AppleEvents supported
within CVideo 1.5, you can annotate video within any Macintosh application,
including FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Word, or your electronic mail editor.
For example, if you need a database format with multiple fields including
QuickTime movies, numbers, buttons, and checkbox, you can type your video
notes in FileMaker Pro 2.0. Via AppleEvents, all CVideo's features become
available for your use: Press a key to start or stop the video. Click a
button to stamp a video time into a FileMaker Pro field. Click another
button and CVideo will locate the corresponding video scene for you. All
without leaving FileMaker Pro!
CVideo is simple to learn since only a few controls and commands are needed
to quickly timestamp, annotate and locate your recorded video material.
You'll never go back to analyzing video by hand!
