BoinxTV Use At Events

Reading, writing and arithmetic were the essential skills of the last century. Now, expressing yourself in and mastering the production of video has become a whole new dimension of learning and creativity which is slowly appearing in the curriculum in schools around the world. It has become a new essential skill for students in the 21st century.

BoinxTV is a brilliant tool for education. It keeps students interested and engaged by simplifying the video production workflow, allowing them to focus more on the content while at the same time empowering them to create visually appealing videos that look like they have been produced by a real TV production company.

Satisfying Learning Experience

BoinxTV gives students an immediate sense of achievement—it's fun and motivating for those in front of the camera, but also for the operating studio team, to see the results immediately after the recording. For most students, it is a much more satisfying and motivating experience to have an active role in making a television show than just watching one. Creating documentaries, conducting interviews, and developing events gives the students limitless possibilities for producing creative films in a virtual environment—building a learning experience that is personally relevant to them, that is personally created, written, edited, and photographed by them.

The greatest use for BoinxTV for us is when we do our live event broadcasts. Most school events take place in a gym or auditorium. We generally have 3 to 5 camera angles and we will use BoinxTV to add titles, change camera angles, keep scores, and broadcast video to a Tandberg video teleconferencing unit and Ustream.

Make your SchoolTV turn heads

BoinxTV opens up remarkable new opportunities to inform about educational projects and school activities, narrowing the gap between school and community. Easily record the Christmas play or sports events and broadcast it to your community via Internet or Public Access TV. Being a member of the production team will become very prestigious as the viewers will watch in wonder.

Less effort – more result

Class projects gets more vivid and fun with video. Video creators used to have to spend many hours editing their takes to get a professional-looking result. BoinxTV dramatically reduces the overall production time as cuts, graphic effects, titles and more can be applied easily during the recording of the project. Everything that can be done during that stage does not have to be done in post-production. Students can focus on the content, and don't waste their time with editing. This is a big advantage: A basic video production with BoinxTV can be accomplished within the existing timeframe of the class schedule.

Recording a news show
An affordable studio

An affordable studio

The equipment of a full-blown television studio has always been a heavy investment for educational organizations or is simply out of reach. With BoinxTV you get an affordable, scalable and easy-to-learn solution to build a low-cost TV studio, even with multiple cameras. BoinxTV provides all the possibilities of expensive studio hardware, with software, to create shows with a higher production quality in less time at a fraction of the cost.

Easy to master (for teachers too!)

Students will master BoinxTV in a breeze, but Teachers will not be left far behind. BoinxTV has been honored with an Apple Design Award for its excellent usability and innovation by Apple, the company know for easy to use products. In contrast to traditional Broadcasting equipment, BoinxTV is extremely intuitive, making it easy to comprehend and use.

Easy to master (also for teachers)

I use BoinxTV a lot. I love the application. I use it very heavily for our morning news program. Our show is very layer intensive. (...) I love the layer effect and am now able to make the news look much more professional. (...) We broadcast live every morning. (...)

Skills fostered by the use of BoinxTV

Working with video and especially with BoinxTV, students will acquire numerous skills. First of all of course the technical skills needed to produce a TV show: How does the equipment work? What are the workflows needed to create a live TV show? Apart from that, a lot of soft skills are honed: How do I express and present my point of view? How do I collaborate with others? How do I tell a compelling story? How do I present my school and events to the Community? In the process they also develop their media competencies and learn to understand how the media they consume every day presents an image of the world.

Making the Grade at CUE 2012

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Happy spring everyone! It’s been a busy month for us Boinx folks. I just returned from a trip to Palm Springs for the annual CUE conference (that’s Computer-Using Educators) – what a success! The conference, which is one of the biggest tech conferences in California, was packed with teachers, tech coordinates, students (though just on Saturday, of course!) and more, seeking out the latest in technology for education. It was the perfect opportunity for us to showcase BoinxTV, iStopMotion 2, and iStopMotion for iPad, and all of their educational benefits for tech savvy teachers and students. Not only did we get a lot of positive feedback from attendees (some may or may not have purchased the iStopMotion for iPad app while at our booth…), but it was so encouraging to see just how big of a role technology plays in the classroom, and how students and teachers alike are embracing it. There was even an exhibit dedicated to showcasing projects that students have created using technology like...

Elementary Students Step Into the Role of Broadcasters

Thursday, February 23, 2012

At West Tisbury School in Massachusetts, a group of students meets every week to shoot their own television show, which is put on display for their classmates and teachers to see each week. How do they do it, you ask? With BoinxTV, of course! Using the “studio-in-a-box,” teacher Valerie Becker and her “news crew” are able to create WTS-TV, without the need for a studio or expensive editing gear. “This is not a TV production class – it’s a group of dedicated students who are enthusiastic about learning the art of broadcast. But because it's not a class, we’re always on the lookout for vacant classrooms to use for creating the show,” says Becker. “That’s what makes this so impressive, that we're able to do that, because the entire 'studio' is on the computer.” WTS-TV episodes, which air in the entryway of the school Monday through Friday all week long, cover all West Tisbury School activities, from sporting events to spelling bees and talent shows to school trips. They even list all of...

Students Use BoinxTV to Create, Learn and Tell Stories

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Fryeburg Academy, a day and boarding school in Maine, is an independent preparatory school that prides itself on providing a supportive yet challenging environment for their students. The Academy believes its strong school community fosters learning and growth in all of their students, and its comprehensive co-curriculum cultivates generations of students who graduate well prepared for the future. A recent addition to the school’s curriculum to help further the Academy’s mission is Filmmaking and Broadcast – a course that requires its students to create content for, report, shoot and edit their own news show. After weeks of hard work and behind-the-scenes efforts – made easier through the class’s use of BoinxTV – FATV is broadcast online to the news team’s fellow classmates and faculty. “We could not be doing the news show at all without BoinxTV,” said Mike Dana, a former motion picture cinematographer and creator/teacher of Filmmaking and Broadcast at Fryeburg. “We use one of our editing...
