Effective Flipcams

Ever want the students to do a presentation for your class? Presentations, when done properly can provide a plentiful amount of learning, such as working as a team, organizing what needs to be done, completing an objective with other people, learning and being the best in a certain category.

Many of my students are afraid to be in front of the class for a presentation and quite frankly in Middle School, some lack the maturity to handle a group project and presentation. An idea to help screen the presentation is by having the students record their presentation through the use of a flipcam. Flipcams are extremely nice because you record and then plug in via USB and your computer has a video ready to play. You can screen the videos ahead of time, have questions ready, make a post-test from them, whatever you would like. Plus students can enjoy feeling secluded when making the presentation, but still present to the class. They can do some neat special effects like hiding things off screen and have them float over the screen.

This is one tool that is extremely useful generically in classrooms. You only truly need one camera, because you can schedule when groups get the camera and they can be ready and start filming at the time and do this on a rotation.
