10 Digital Video Cameras

Kieran Ryan and I applied for an instructional grant last year for digital video cameras. We were awarded 10 Sony Bloggies. The purpose is to get the technology into the hands of students. They are very easy to use - the sixth graders have already used them in library. If you are interested, but not sure where to start, just ask! I'd be happy to spend some time with you to help plan how you can use them in your class.
