Readers of Free Technology for Teachers crowdsourced what I believe to be a fascinating presentation how to use a flip cam for interesting classroom activities. I'm unable to embed the presentation, but you can find the link here.
A few of the ideas included:
Have junior high students plan a video tour of their school for the upcoming elementary students.
Students Record and Share Math Tips
Students Evaluate Their Own Behavior and Determine Strategies to Increase Learning
Encourage students to video each other being interviewed for a fictitious job & then play back videos for peer and self assessment.
I'd suggest flipping through the presentation and adding some of your own suggestions in the comment section. If you need a flip cam, they can be found semi-inexpensively here.
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:

Then search for "kindergarteners"
Click "vote for me" after you view my project proposal
Thank you in advance for your support! I would SO appreciate if you could pass this information on to others who would be willing to vote for my project, too. I need all the help I can get! Thanks again!
