Review
8mm is a constructive video camera app that mimics the look and feel of an 8mm camera through several filters. The filters range from simple color filters to filters that represent periods in history. 8mm could be used in a collaborative history classroom documentary project by utilizing the filters that mimic particular time periods. Although not intended for educational purposes, 8mm is a successful representation of Jonassen’s concept of mindtools and could be seamlessly applied across formal and informal educational settings.
