Toys are fun by definition, and we tend, alas, to have fewer toys as we get older and more serious in our endeavors. That was one of my thoughts as I read Laurie Rowell’s latest contribution to eLearn Magazine about the uses of Flip video cameras for education. Not only did I want one to play with, but I started to see ways I could use them in my own teaching. As a proponent of storytelling, cameras and video cameras can certainly enhance sharing of stories. I encourage you to read the article and come up with your own ideas – and then try them out both as a way to play with new toys and to enhance your teaching.
