Using a flip HD video to produce online content

It is really easy to produce HD instructional videos with the flip Mino HD
once you have a jig that holds the camera in the correct position relative
to the paper being written on. Since YouTube now supports HD video, it is
also really easy to make produced videos accessible to students.

See this post on ISEN for an example and information about the process.

It would be much easier for your teachers to get started making this type
of videos if flip would produce an easy-to-use inexpensive jig to hold the
flip camera in the correct position. I would guess they could make such a
device for under fifty dollars. If you think your teachers might make use
of something like this please consider contacting flip using the URL
