Re: [teacherartexchange] Technology question

Flip video cameras are very simple to operate - both for teacher technophobes and 1st graders. I also like that you can plug it directly into the computer - no cables needed. Price is good and the camera is quite durable, so it’s a good one to take on a field trip.
What I don’t like (or limitations): microphone is so-so and the zoom is not much. So if you’re hoping to record a play or performance, it may have a difficult time picking up kids’ voices and closeups of their smiling faces.

> I heartily endorse the Flip Video cameras. The price is right at +/- $150. They're incredibly simple. They plug straight into your USB port. They come with Flip Share software. You can get one through Amazon or Office Depot or many other places. I have three and I love them. I'm setting up to have my students use them this next year.
