Impact of Video: SocietyTV…illustrates the mixed blessings of
technological change in American Society. It is a (fairly) new medium, promising extra- ordinary benefits: great educational potential, a broadening of experience…
But it teaches children the uses of violence, offers material consumption as the answer to life’s problems… and undermines family interaction and other forms of learning such as play and reading.(Kenneth Keniston, professor, human development: Carnegie Council on Children)
Impact of Video: Schools

Common Impact TopicsSince the onset of broadcast TV, video has has a tremendous impact on society:
Our leisure time pursuitsWhere we gather knowledge and “facts”Reports on current eventsHow we view each other and other societiesRace, violence, sex, clothing, food
“In 1961 I worried that my children would not benefit from TV; but in 1991 I worry that my grandchildren will actually be harmed by it!”
(Truman: www2.truman.edu/)
I have no expectations;but I do have hope! (Illych)
Even in the late ’50’s analysts werewarning us of potential damage tosociety if TV did not “clean up its’ act…Famous newsman and journalist
Edward R. Murrow warned televisionexecutives that change was needed bystating: “decadence, escapism, andinsulation from the world of realities in which we live. And, without courage and vision, TV is nothing more than lights and wires in a box!”

Pervasiveness of Video:3
Video is entwined in almost everything we do today. Not only do we have major video store chains, but even our grocery stores will now rent videos.
Vans and travel trailers have video setsAlmost every classroom has access to unitsVideos have replace film in most classesDigital Video is getting more popular
Personal camcorder recordings make the news
from weddings to war, it is not just the journalists
Issues of ConcernIs Video (TV) helping or hurting education
helping: new places and ideashurting: lots of garbage and stereotyping
Are we using video properly in schoolscommercial versus school videostie-ins with curriculum
Video as both a tool and as a subjectplanning and producing skillsor just playing with video and computers
Video in the Classroom: a WINNER!
The research on proper use of video in the classroom is overwhelming positive.

An Important Assumption:
These positive gains possible by using video in the classroom are all built on the assumption of “you get what you pay for” (quality planning=successful video process)
A simple Instructional Design process is followedVideo tied to curriculum and student needsTeacher as “lesson planner & guide on the side”Some VERY basic rules of production usedEvaluation (formative and summative) planned
