I recently purchased a flip cam for use at school. After the purchase, I used it for a few things and then it sort of went into hiding. Oh, I filmed a few sports clips on campus, and I’ve definitely used it at holidays to record the grandkids. But I’ve really struggled with both how to use the camera and how to get teachers excited about using the camera for themselves.
Below is a Slideshare presentation on 42 ways to use a flip cam in the classroom. I really like them. Even the ones geared at younger kids will work in a middle school setting. And it definitely would help with project based learning in a number of ways!

How are you using flip cameras at your school?
I have applied for a digital learning microgrant for my kindergarten classroom to win a flipcam digital video recorder and money enough to purchase a minilaptop to use with my students at a Viewing Station. I’m really excited about this opportunity and I would love for you to vote for my project at:
