Thanks to Patrick Higgins (who thanks Will Richardson) for this find:  this might be just the peer feedback tool we're looking for for the 1001 Tales writing workshop.  It requires a webcam, but otherwise is dead easy to embed--easier than Yackpack, and video added to boot.  (And check out the film debut of Patrick's Audrey, who can't be more than four moons old, on his demo.  Priceless, Patrick.)

I'm seeing this as a way for students to give peer feedback by reading their flat classroom peers' works aloud into their webcam, pausing for commentary all the while.  At a couple stages in the Flat World Tales, we had students podcast themselves reading their own works, then listen and reflect about what they heard.  Otherwise, no audio-video was used; instead, students only wrote their feedback on each other's wiki page.  My students said this took them upwards of a half hour per story feedback.

So Flixn might be faster, easier, and more effective--and more social.  Some of the student feedback expressed regret that they could not see or hear their flat classroom partners this time around.

I'm really liking this....Chris Watson, are you listening? 

If this exports to .mov or other common formats, it could be the solution to Photostory's and Windows Moviemaker's limitations of combining video and still photos.  For those schools too unenlightened to realize iLife makes this all a snap.
