Video as a presentation medium has been around for quite some time. It has been used in the classroom primarily as an information dissemination tool, or as a tool to share with learners particular events which would be difficult to envisage with other media. For instance, the first moon landing could be presented through a book, but there is nothing like "seeing" the actual event (see clip 1). Another example would be video of the world's fastest animal (clip 2). Video as a teaching tool must be used with discretion. Here I propose some particular instances when video might be a good option for your classroom.

Web 2.0 Video
Web 2.0 video applications have several features which make these tools much different in their application when compared with video applications of yesterday. First, Web 2.0 videos are shared with the masses. Second, the masses can converse, edit, copy, repost, and so forth the "original". Third, the video creators are now the users. This is the essence of web 2.0. Exactly what the implications of these three Web 2.0 features have in the classroom setting is described further below.

When Video
When considering how video can best be used in the classroom setting, thing first about the 21st century skills which are engaged in your classroom. Videos can be used in a variety of ways. Below is a short list of examples that might be useful in your classroom.


 * They can be used as an information source (e.g., getting information about a particular area of study in your classroom).
 * They can be used for learners to create digital journals or digital story telling. This can assist learners in the writing process, whereby learners tell a story about selected or chosen pictures of video clips. For instance, the first day of school, learners could create an advertisement about themselves.
 * They can be as a presentation platform. Learners may not be completely comfortable presenting to their peers, and may be given an option to create a video to share instead.
