  • Integrating Video Clips Into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and Youtube in the Classroom
    Integrating Video Clips into the “Legacy Content” of the K–12 Curriculum: TV, Movies, and YouTube in the Classroom Ronald A. Berk Disclaimer: This chapter is based on a presentation given at the annual Evaluation Systems Conference in Chicago. Since the content of the October 2008 presentation focused on using videos in the classrooms of the future, this chapter will not be able to capture the flavor and spirit of the actual videos shown. The audience exhibited a range of emotions, from laughter to weeping to laughter to weeping. Unfortunately, this print version will probably only bring about the weeping. Keep a box of tissues nearby. Enjoy. Using videos in teaching is not new. They date back to prehistoric times, when cave instructors used 16 mm projectors to show cave students examples of insurance company marketing commercials in business courses. Now even DVD players are history. So what’s new? There are changes in four areas: (1) the variety of video formats, (2) the ease with which the technology can facilitate their application in the classroom, (3) the number of video techniques a teacher can use, and (4) the research on multimedia learning that provides the theoretical and empirical support for their use as an effective teaching tool. A PC or Mac and a LCD projector with speakers can easily embed video clips for a PowerPoint presentation on virtually any topic. This chapter examines what we know and don’t know about videos and learning. It begins with detailed reviews of the theory and research on videos and the brain and multimedia learning.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.
