More ideas for using a Flip cam (Pocket Video Camera) in your class

Ok, this has gotten me motivate to try out my flip video this weekend....the potential use is great,...plan is I am going to try using it to highlight a new piece of technology that we just purchased called the sonic care, I have used this device, which is like an ultrasound machine to a vein on a person that was next to impossible to start.

This is great news. Good luck! I'm interested to find out how you edit the movie files. I've yet to find a good solution - the .mp4 files require file conversion to get into my editing software. If you have iMovie, it's not a problem ... I think. Let us know how it turns out!

This brief article talks about 1.) how Twitter could aid in the spread of misinformation 2.) as well as the potential for researchers and health educators to use Twitter to help identify misconceptions and re-educate people.

This article has a great video in it that shows variation in magazine design for the new iPad. Magazine design may lead the way for publication/Web surfing navigation design.

A vision of students today

Digital natives as learners:"Engage them, don't enrage them". This is a video (7:52) that explains some of the issues related to 'Digital Native' students in a non-digital school structure.

Interesting video on today's learners versus standard teaching methods. Well referenced and entertaining. Daivd Warlick is quoted a couple of times

This was written for K-12 educator audience, but has some very good advice for those looking at starting a digital storytelling project.

This video (created by Claudia Kimbrough) shows the use of Second Life in two College of Management courses. This innovative teaching and learning environment is a part of NC State University's LITRE (Learning in a Technology Rich Environment) program and a part of VOLT: Virtual Online Learning and Teaching, a comprehensive, collaborative project on online learning led by Len Annetta.

A good video demonstration of VoiceThread

After looking at voice thread I started thinking of ways in which I could utilize this technology in teaching my undergraduate students and it dawned on me that I could post a picture of the Amish and ask my students to share comments about the amish culture which would be useful in facilitating optimal outcomes with clients. At the graduate level, I was thinking of posting a diagram of a nursing model and asking the students to give an example of an application of the model to a client scenario. And in teaching nurse practitioners, I could post a picture of a patient and tell the story then ask students to identify a possible differential with rational. With 6 students in a clinical, 6 possible differentials could be generated from viewing a picture of the client and listening to the story in context.

Pretty good presentation of how to use Google Apps for Education. While, this is focused on a K-12 audience, it could certainly be relevant to nurse educators. Journaling, surveys, E-portfolios can all be done with Google applications for free!

A teachign and learning material repository built by the Consortium for Health Professions Educators at Duke. This site "provides links to information and internal and external resources to help faculty in many areas" concerning the scholarship of teaching and technology innovations. Also, the builders hope that faculty will participate and " contribute ideas, experiences, questions, resources, and so on."

"The website is considered to be a "living" resource that will change continually and to which each faculty member may contribute ideas, experiences, questions, resources, and so on."
