I understand how people can spend hours and hours on youTube. I searched through a lot of video with a focus on things that might be useful for me as a teacher. Nada. I understand that it's a revolutionary tool and has the potential to really connect people, but I am not sure how I will use it to revolutionize my classroom.
YouTube is restricted in our district, as are TeacherTube and SchoolTube and every other streaming media website. I understand why, but I think there needs to be some better understanding about how digital media can be incorporated into the classroom lesson.
I did invest in a Flip digital camcorder. It's about the size of an iPod and it records 2 hours of video before it needs to download its memory via USB. Very easy to use. Very portable. Good quality (HD) video. You can learn more about the other Flip cameras and the one I got (MinoHD). It's very, very simple and yet even my son think's it's cool.

Thanks for the Flip link. I'm considering buying one!
