More About Scholastic Services
But we’re well aware that even the greatest technology
is of little value if it doesn’t get used; perhaps it
costs too much, or is too complicated because it doesn’t
fit an existing framework and requires additional faculty
course offerings or other resources. Or perhaps production
guidelines are too rigid, not allowing for input or creativity.
Any one of these negatives would be fatal to the success of
a new program. So we’ve addressed these and other issues
to insure that our products exceed expectations, and they
are a source of pride for your school— growing and changing
as needs demand, and met with anticipation year after year.
A well produced DVD is a showcase for your school and the
diverse activities that take place on campus. Aside from remembrance,
your DVD’s can be a wonderful outreach tool to encourage
parental involvement and foster a greater sense of community,
without expending scarce funds or additional resources
toward that end.
You’ve probably seen how popular DVD’s have become
in a short period of time. These discs will far outlast any
video tape ever made. Because the foundation of video tape
containing the information layer is a thin, flexible material,
it will shrink, stretch, or otherwise deteriorate over time,
causing diminished playback performance and eventually rendering
the signal on the tape unusable. A DVD can be played repeatedly
for decades on end without noticeable degradation...the player
itself will fail long before the disc does.
