Flipcam

Today's new tool was the flipcam. A Flipcam is like mini video camera that has an attached USB port. That way you may download the videos onto your computer and attch them to your blog so parents can see what is going on in the classroom. For example, today I videotaped the class's morning work on the smartboard. A little bit later today I will upload that to my computer.(I need to learn how first) You could also video tape a reader's theatre. This way children can here the inflection in their voice and also see their facial expressions. You could videotape group work to show the students how they work together. There are many things that the flipcam could be used for in the classroom.
