Jason YeomanAbout Online Movies
There are enormous selections of movies on the Internet that can contribute so much to the classroom situation. Unfortunately, as with so many good things, there can be issues.
* Often the movies are stored on a website that is blocked by a content filter. By rule, you aren't allowed to even access the movie. Why? There could be a concern about using up bandwidth, or the site just might have other movies with content that isn't appropriate for the classroom.
* You've found a great movie and it would be PERFECT for today's lesson. Suppose you can get through the filter only to find that the site is "under construction", the file has moved, the file has been removed, or the original site has just plain gone missing in action. This is really bad if you have all your eggs in that basket.
* Or, you can get through the filter, get to the file but there is so much traffic that your movie is paused and restarted and paused and restarted because you just don't have the bandwidth to do it justice.
* Name your own issue. Everyone has issues. -
