Let’s meet the Flip From the back

How you can use the Flip in your classroom? Let’s Discuss

Graphic organizers such as a series of illustrations or images Displayed in sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a motion picture, etc (definition from Wikipedia.com) Some students need a storyboard to help set up the video sequence

Stand within 4 feet so you get good quality video and audio. Have a supply of rechargeable batteries and a good recharger. It is much easier if students create videos in one take, as dealing with several files from several groups can get confusing and messy. All files should be saved on the computer and then deleted on the camera.

15 minutes for the storyboard 15 minutes to film (need time for retakes) 10 minutes to upload video/create movie 1-3 minutes to share
