Using Flip Videos
Larry Ragan
Director of Faculty Development, Penn State World Campus
January 22, 2009
Description
Video podcasting can enhance teaching in many ways. For example, you can bring the real world into your course by video with current technology. It’s as easy as a one button camera, a USB port, and the URL to USC’s iTunes U portal. This session will provide hands-on experience in using a Flip Video camera. Participants will learn how to quickly create a video and upload it to iTunes U. Join us in this interactive session to discuss creative strategies for using video technology to enhance student learning.
