Welcome Teachers!
I would like to share ideas with you about ways to integrate technology in your classroom. My favorite technology toy is the Flip Video Camera and I use it almost every day. By allowing your students to create videos, write scripts, conduct research, and practice public speaking, you are creating independent, critical thinkers and resourceful problem solvers. Check out this website to help you with ordering Flip Cameras. You can get two cameras for $150. http://www.digitalwish.com/dw/digitalwish/products
Here are a few videos that students have made using the Flip Video camera:
