will create something on a mac and then bring it in to play on a PC or
forget their connector so their mac cannot connect to our LCD projector. It
is not just a problem with video, often I have students with problems with
ppt created in keynote as well. One way to avoid this may be to upload to
vimeo or slideshare- of course then you may run into problems trying to show
them if your filters block these online tools. Since Macs seem to play nicer
with different formats, and we have all PCS in our lab, as well as the
teacher laptops- I try to encourage kids to bring in PC compatible video. I
have VLC and gomplayer on my laptop, which can usually find the codecs
needed to play just about anything.
So- either upload to an online tool, or use VLC or some other more universal
player (not windows media player).

Subject: Instructions/Guidelines for Students Creating Video Projects
We are seeing more and more faculty assign short video projects to
their students. However, we don't currently have set of standards or
guidelines for how the students should create their videos. As we do
not have a 1:1 program at our school, the students are editing their
video on their home computers and bringing it to school in a variety
of formats. With some frequency, we end up with students in the IT
office, desperate to get their project converted to something that
their teacher can see.
We are looking to put guidelines together for our faculty that they
can share with their students to prevent some of the last minute
craziness that some of the students go through. If you have any
information or materials from your school to share, I would appreciate
it.
thanks, Maura
