Glad that this was posted - these really are the coolest tech toys out right now. I love how easy it is to use the Flip cameras. Another thing that I like is that the software is included on the camera so that it makes sharing the camera among multiple people super easy.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn more about this, but more to share what you have here. Do you mind if I post this on my own blog? www.iron-lenord.blogspot.com I am trying to share this kind of info and these kinds of resources with teachers who are newbies to technology and to whom most of what I read would be completely overwhelming to them. Thanks for your help!
ReplyDeleteI love the weebly website. It makes it so easy to design and create your own webpage. I'm using it to create a school newspaper and I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI think Weebly is a great site and a helpful teaching tool. It allowed my students to have enough freedom to work on their own but still gave me the ability to monitor their growth and learning
