Re: [LM_NET] GEN: FLIP video camera

I LOVE my FLIP video camera. I use it to make book talks for our book fairs. My 
students and I have a lot of fun. The bloopers are everybody's favorite part. We 
use Microsoft movie maker to make a video with all the book talks and other fun 
skits.

I also use it to quickly give my storytelling club members a look at themselves 
while telling. It helps them see what they want to improve or change.

I'm curious. What other ways are FLIP cameras being used in school?

Subject: [LM_NET] GEN: FLIP video camera

I bought a FILP Ultra video camera. It was $129.99. at Target. The 3 year extended 
policy was another $19.99. And I bought a tripod for $8.  It came with two AA 
batteries, and will tape for 120 minutes.

The camera is sooo easy to use. There's a button to turn it on, and a big red 
button to start taping. The big red button stops  the taping, too. You can zoom in 
and out. You can play back and watch on the camera's screen, or plug it into a tv 
with the included cable. You can delete a video by clicking the trash can button.

My eleven year old daughter video taped my husband's 4th grade band concert on 
Tuesday night. I came home, popped out the USB, plugged it into the computer.

The software starts right up. Once it's installed, the movie shows up on the 
computer screen and you click it and it uploads.
The picture is great. The audio is great. He was impressed with the ease of it.
My husband e-mailed the video to a bunch of teachers. One click from the main 
screen and off it goes.

It couldn't be easier. I am 100% impressed.
