target: research on video usage

[J Fitzsimmons <jfitz77@RMI.NET>]

An administrator from our district is searching for research on the viewing
of videos in a classroom setting.  She is hoping to find something that
states that if shown, videos should be used to support and teach a concept
rather than just amuse kids.  Even a paper addressing the appropriateness of
one kind of video over another would be beneficial.  Has anyone found
research that addresses such issues?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
