As part of our Moving Image in Education project, we have been given a Flip Camera.  There is quite a bit of buzz about these just now, basically as they are so easy to use.  They have only a few buttons and don’t even need a cable.

Tom writes a lot about them and has even set up this ideas bank!  There does seem to be a little glitch in that Windows Media Player only plays back the audio of the .avi files.  To fix this you just need run the Windows 3ivx installer.  Full details here!

We unboxed ours after lunch at 1pm.  We had some science experiments recorded, uploaded and playing back on our SMARTBoard by 1:45pm.  Not bad going.  Where would be the best place to host videos?  TeacherTube?  Or just on own file space?
