Being a regular ‘Flip Camera’ user at home myself, I was keen to explore how these could be utilised within the school setting, in order to enhance and record the learning of our pupils.  I gave a brief demonstration to the teaching staff on how to use the cameras and how to upload the videos and then left it to the creativity of our teaching team.  Some ways in which we used the Flip Cameras effectively were:

* Recording fantastic Outdoor Learning experiences in our local nature park with P6.

* ‘A Day In The Life Of Primary 1’ for our school’s Open Afternoon, combined with iMovie with superb results.

* Investigating and analysing P.E. performance with P4/5.

* Filming a song composed by our P3 class as part of our ‘Ten Step Challenge’ fundraising event.

* A wealth of Talking and Listening experiences recorded by P2 and P7.

All filming was carried out by the pupils.  Our experience using the Flip Cameras was an extremely positive one, and we will definitely be considering adding some Flip Cameras to our ICT collection on a more permanent basis!
