This was a concurent session at NECC by Jim Hirsch, Plano Independent School District. I didn't attend his session but I just listened to his podcast and he did a very good job of explaining what options to consider when investigating the use of open source applications and content in an educational setting. You can get a copy of his presentation as well as hundreds of other links about open source and licensing and more at this site - Open Technology Resources.
Michael presented a great intro to this topic at one of our meetings last spring. This is a great addition to that with lots of resources and support links.
I highly recommend you listen to the podcast of Jim Hirsch's session as well. You can find it by going to the iTunes Music Store and then searching for NECC. That will bring up the NECC podcasts and you can download all of them or just selected ones into iTunes (which is a free download from the Apple website and is cross platform for both PC and Mac). All these podcasts are free.

Lori,
Avid makes a product called Avid FreeDV that allows you to take AVI files created with Windows Movie Maker and transfer them to the Quicktime files. You can find this out at Freevlog.org. You could probally even use this program as a replacement for MovieMaker.
