Extra Ideas on how to use a flip video in our classroom....

•Math: record the steps of a math problem with explanations; find math in nature; find math in everyday items
•Act out a scene from a book; narrate a story; record students reading poetry for a virtual poetry jam; oral communication – turn a persuasive essay into a commercial
•Science: demo/create ‘how-to’s for experiments; record labs/dissections/demonstrations
•Social Studies: conduct an interview of a famous person from history/person from another culture; conduct “man on the street” interviews based on history/cultures; re-create a famous speech; create a commercial – “why you should visit…”
•Performing Arts: demonstrate basics of an instrument/parts/hand positioning; create a warm-up video for others to follow along; record yourself and critique
•PE: demonstrate rules of a game; make a workout video
•Health: create a video on making/maintaining friendships/interview kids about what they eat for lunch at school;
