Earlier today I Tweeted that I got a Flip video camera to record my presentations. Adam Truitt replied with this message "now waiting on your post - "100 classroom ideas for the flip camera" :-)" Adam's message reminded me of Tom Barrett's Interesting Ways series. I put the two ideas together and started a Google Docs presentation of ways that Flip video cameras can be used in the classroom. I've already invited Adam to add his thoughts and I'd like to open it up to as many people as possible. If you have something to add to this presentation just send me your email address in the form below and I'll send you an invite to collaborate.

Have you seen this post. http://www.digmo.co.uk/edu/10-education-uses-for-flip-video/ ? Covers a few good uses for the flip video in education.
Nice idea Richard. You'd also like this similar presentation on the Ideas to Inspire website - currently running at 43 ways to use a pocket video camera

Some other good ones on the site, inspired by the ones Tom started, plus others.
Danny & DigMo,
I hadn't seen either of those posts. Thanks for sharing.

At a nursing program in a Michigan community college, the students use college-provided flip cameras to record nursing skills and physical assessments on other nursing students in the lab area. It has been great for allowing the students to immediately see how they performed a skill, or communicated with the "patient", etc.

Tom,
I don't know how I missed that. I looked on the "Interesting Ways" page on your blog, but I didn't see it. Thanks for sharing. I wasn't trying to steal your thunder in any way.
Best,
Richard
My statistics students are using it as part of a larger project to create public service announcements to promote safe teen driving. The winning PSA will be shown to the entire school during our weekly meeting. The students will be collecting and analyzing data to see the effects.
Your Google Docs presentation inspired me to make one with the Flip video's I shot when on skicamp with a group of students.
See my blogpost (in Dutch).
Here's the presentation.
Each day I followed the students with my Flip Mino and back at the youth hostel at night they watched themselves and got some video feedback from their instructors!
It's a very good way to learn when you see yourself doing things wrong and good!
Of course there's a blog about the skicamp, but unfortunately it's in Dutch.

All taken with a Flip Mino camera!
I teach in a K-2 school that is adjacent to a very active military post, so we regularly have kids moving in/out. To welcome our new kids, we got a group of kids together to film teachers, rules and procedures and other things to help the new kids feel at home, and put them on an iPod so the new friends can take a virtual tour while the parents fill out paperwork. That way they get to see their new teacher and learn a little about the school without disrupting the classroom. We want them to start their first day feeling at least a little familiar with their new school!
