This 3-section guide was compiled to provide assistance to teachers who want to work with video in the classroom, and also to relate the experiences of students and teachers who participated in the video project, "Ptarmigan TV." The first section describes the significance of using video in the classroom and explains what video is and does, how it can enhance curriculum and general education, and its limitations. The second section, "What We Learned from Ptarmigan TV," focuses on one specific project from which teachers and students in four separate school districts were able to apply the theoretical advantages of learning with video in real-life situations. Section three comprises technical information to assist the teacher in video production. Appendices include illustrated definitions of video terms and samples of storyboarding, a release form, and a tape review form; a bibliography on instructional resources; two possible sources of funding; and a list of depositories for Ptarmigan TV materials.
