If I taught physics, I’d rent all of these, then use this and this to extract playback-ready clips. Then I’d salt them throughout the school year unceremoniously, as the attention span of my classroom demanded.

I used to use a VCR and a program I had to do that, but nothing is out on VHS anymore, and my VCR is broken anyway. Ever since I switched fully to DVDs I haven’t been able to extract anything.

By the way I completely sympathize with these ongoing conversations about workload. I am in my second year with full time powerpoint in the classroom and quality is improving, but the amount of time I’m spending is way too much. Some ability to re-use and benefits from the learning curve, but nothing huge yet.

Never used any of these, personally, though, so good luck.
