Flip Camera – St. Edward’s P.S

The Primary 6 class were working on a Film and Media topic. Children had to use the Flip cameras to create their own short movies. Before the filming the children created a script, make scenery and props. Then children recorded their films and edited them adding sound and text effects.

Children enjoyed using the cameras and this enhanced their knowledge of using technology to support their learning. They were able to capture images and were responsible for editing their own films. Since then the children have regularly used flip cameras for different projects.

The children showed their completed films to other classes and experienced success doing this.

One issue I had was trying to copy the films from an apple mac computer onto a disc for children to share with parents. I think this was something to do with the amount of space on the computer. Unfortunately, this problem has not been resolved.
