I have only had my Flips since the middle of September, but they are already an important part of the class. I feel like the Flips increase engagement. I will film everyday events, not just projects or presentations. Most of the videos are short, but it has been very helpful for keeping students in the loop. We have a daily class blog, which the students check when they are out. It is so easy to take a video and embed it in a blog. With lots of sickness (H1N1, etc), students are able to watch the review activities and respond to the same questions as the class. I also left the Flip with a sub when I was out with the flu and had students film short segments for me to see their progress.
I loved seeing someone else’s ideas for using Flips in education. It has given me some additional ideas. Thanks!

Why not just get an iPod nano – it does everything the Flip Video camera does and then some. Sure Flip Video’s one trick pony days are numbered.

Aren’t Flip Video now owned by Cisco?

“and you won’t need to buy a single camera as it comes with a massive 8GB of internal storage.” Do you mean single tape? Love my Flip!
