Trouble finding funding for your classroom? Video production equipment? This site looks interesting. If you're making a huge difference in kid's lives, consider throwing your name out there. You might just get some funding.

A great tutorial from Video Maker that shows all the basic types of camera movement AND some possible reasons for using these types of camera movement. You may notice that you don't have some of the camera equipment to make these types of movement possible. While you might not be able to make the movements smoothly such as in the case of a dolly or a trucking shot, you can always find a DIY way to make it happen. For example, dolly shots can be done by walking. They're not smooth this way, but you can still teach the concept. Be creative, use office chairs, radio flyer wagons, the little rollie carts from PE (you know what I'm talking about?). There's always a way to make it work.

Website for high quality DSLR camera rigs. I've seen these used in a few places before but not much in schools. As DSLR shooting becomes more and more prevalent, I think these will come down in price a bit for schools to buy. If the prices don't drop here, then the knock off brands will take over in a year or two.

Found this model of follow focus on an episode of Film Riot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pUZf-JY6JM. Pretty ridiculously expensive but if I had the money, it would probably be this one because it seems adaptable to just about any camera/lens.
