The stories will be delivered through the Living SchoolBook network via the Quicktime and
Video on Demand technologies. Video on Demand does not limite the size of the picture displaying
the students' stories. The Living Schoolbook plans to assist the teacher in taking full
advantage of this technology. The size of the picture can be as large or almost as large
as the Computer monitor. The Video on Demand can be indexed, easily searched and paused.
The still frames are much clearer than a VCR.
The difference is similar to an audio cassete tape vs. a compact disk player. A VCR like a
cassette tape it is difficult to locate particular section. Video on demand also has scripting
so a teacher can pick any order or amount of video to be shown. Takes full advantage of the
content. However, it is limited to close circuit use. Only certain computer can utilize this
technology and must be on the closed network.
