Give interested
teachers a couple of days out of the classroom and they will demonstrate
their skill and enthusiasm. Look at the pattern developed by the Apple
video seminars - four days in a pleasant location working on video.
Training should
be acompanied by kit which they can become familiar with. What about
a course with free camera and software?
Film study and use
should be included in Initial Teacher Training. However as this takes
place more in schools and teacher training institutions are short of
time and money perhaps ITT students could bring with them a basic kit
and a day's training with the mission of introducing it to staff as
well as using it in the classroom. The kit would stay in the shool and
the student might have to provide staff training.
