=**What is Flip Video?**=

Flip video is a digital camcorder which records about 60 minutes of video. Besides having only 4 buttons, what makes it so easy to use is the USB connector which "flips" out of it and directly into your computer's USB port. **PLEASE NOTE: Ask your tech coordinator to install the flip video software on your school computer for you.**

=**Classroom ideas**=

Here are just a few*
 * Film students during the first week of school and ask them what their goals are for the year
 * Film the progression of fluency
 * Film a completed project of a student before you send it home
 * Film questions from the class at the beginning of a unit, then film them answering the same questions at the end of the unit
 * Capture the excitement of learning from your students
 * Capture hands-on learning that can never be captured by a traditional assessment
 * Bring the outside world in
 * Film special guests and presenters (who will allow it)
 * Create video time capsules
 * Capture highlights from special events or field trips
 * Adapted from "Caught on Video" by Bob Sprankle, //Technology and Learning//, April 2008.**
