Application to the classroom


 * NETS*S**
 * **Creativity and Innovation:** || Students can create their own content. Use this for digital storytelling, for documentary making, students teaching each other content, doing reports. . . ||
 * **Communication and Collaboration** || Students can have "e-pals" and share wiki spaces with another classroom where they share video captured by the flip and create content together, or send share stories through vodcasts captured with the flip. ||
 * **Research and Information Fluency** || Authentic primary research can be recorded with the flip (especially after finding documentaries that model something similar.) ||
 * **Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making** || Have students record themselves going through the creative problem solving process working on a real world problem. Create a documentary of how they began by identifying a problem and then worked to create a solution. ||
 * **Digital Citizenship** || Proper etiquette for filming and care for the equipment would be directly taught and then reinforced. ||
 * **Technology Operations and Concepts** || Students could learn background information on digital technology and describe how it works. (They could research and record their findings with the flip.) ||
