    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.

    I 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!

    I 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.
