LFHS Foundation Grant Pilot Program LFHS Foundation is sponsoring a pilot digital video camera program. A survey site has been developed so that when teachers use the cameras they can provide input. Available for check-out at the Technology Help Desk are 5 flip video HD Cameras and 5 Kodak xi8 HD video cameras. These cameras were purchased by the LFHS Foundation as a pilot program to determine whether to move forward with a grant request for a classroom set of cameras. For this reason these cameras are strictly for classroom instructional use. The goal of the Lake Forest Foundation is to support the development of technologically inspired instructional strategies. The Technology department has 3 additional Flip cameras that may be checked out for professional development which are not a part of this program.
Guidelines for Use: · Teachers will be given a draft copy of Video Recording Guide lines each time the cameras are checked out so that they are reminded of acceptable use of video recording at LFHS. · When the cameras are returned, teacher should complete a web survey evaluating their experience or that of their students by following the link above. · Instructions for using portable digital technology are included with each camera. Additionally, Steve Douglass has posted several very helpful videos illustrating how to use the Flip Cam and the Kodak xzi8 video camera. These videos may be accessed online at: http://sites.google.com/site/lfhsfoundationgrantflip/how-to-videos Currently, training is not available through the Help Desk. Check-out Guidelines and Procedures: · Cameras will be checked out and returned at the Technology Help Desk by faculty only. Faculty should not send a student to pick up or return these cameras. · 1-5 of the cameras may be checked out at once. · The cameras may be borrowed for a maximum of 7 days. Upon return, the cameras may not be checked out again by the same faculty member for 24 hours. · The cameras are available on a first come first-serve basis. They may not be reserved in advance. · The cameras should be returned with all of the accessories and instruction booklets in the condition they were received. · Any videos stored on the cameras or SD cards should be deleted before returning.
