"Flippin' Over Learning!

I am a first grade teacher who wants to capture learning at its finest! I have taken a wealth of Technology courses this past summer and want to bring learning to life in my classroom! The FLIP camera will allow students to take digital photos and video of field trips, student created artwork, student created video of collaboration and cooperative learning. It will allow the students to create learning to share with the entire class!

Our obstacle is that we do not have any funding in our current programs that allow students to use current Technology. I feel that my students are very behind other children who have the Technology in their schools.

The ability of having the FLIP will bring learning to life! I will use the Flip in all aspects of the curricula!

Please support my project!! We would really like to use our FLIP camcorder to create student made creations to share with the other students in the class... but also.. we have been paired with a school overseas! The learning will EXCEL for not only my own children but with a class in South America. I will be open and willing to share my FLIP camcorder with all of the teachers and students in my entire school. This is a very needed piece of Technology. Thank you for your support!

My students need a Flip camera so that they can create digital stories. The cost of this proposal is $244, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ?."
