Let’s meet the Flip From the front
Let’s meet the Flip From the back
Let’s Discuss How you can use the Flip in your classroom?
Some students need a storyboard to help set up the video sequence • 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) Storyboards
Some suggestions: 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.
Time line for one class period • 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
