My son has finished school and has never touched any video editor. While that's no proof that this software should not be used in schools I would also vote for an "install once it is really used" option rather than putting it on any box per default.I have a cooperation running with a school in Kiel that uses video software (like kino) for dubbing already existing documentaries and replacing the narrators audio track (mostly English) with their own explanations of what is seen in the video.Having an education-videoeditor meta package for Skolelinux will probably quite valueable to some institutions.Interesting!I see no problem, however, in those schools installing relevant video editing tools _after_ the core installation of Skolelinux.Also, it seems to me that actual video editing is a heavy-weight approach. Have you considered instead to have them use a subtitle editor?
As I am not teaching this class (only supporting) I don't know about the exact educational objective of this class. I imagine one aspect is: learning how to speak in an appropriate way for recording audio tracks.
As the school I talk about (Lernwerft Club of Rome Schule Kiel, www.lernwerft.de) works with block periods (,,Epochenunterricht'' in German) they have ,,more'' time for this kind of work (i.e. a complete morning as opposed to a 45 minutes lesson).
Subtitling might also be some other nice feature that could be used in schools, though.
BTW: the Lernwerft uses a self-made Ubuntu Linux setup that I build up from scratch as I had not known enough about Skolelinux when I did the setup (and thus: not taken Skolelinux into consideration, which I start doing now for other school IT-projects around Kiel ;-) ).
