Subject: Re: Flip file conversion
Greetings all!
We've had very good experiences with Flips this year, but I also ran into the
problem when sharing the avi files. Our solution has been to convert the files
into wmv so they play in Windows Media Player and import into Movie Maker. We
use the free-download version of Any Video Converter for this purpose and for
other downloads. Not a perfect fix but quick and easy for anything I've wanted
to do so far...

Marty,
I've also had positive experiences with the Flip, and think it's a great choice.
I did find that in order to import to Movie-Maker, I had to install the Flip
software on the computer I was using MovieMaker on, in order for the correct
codec to be there. In other words, I was not able to film with the Flip and then
use the Flip AVI files on a different computer that did not have the Flip
software installed. I wish I understood more about codecs. It would be simpler
if we could just push that codec out to all computers, rather than installing
the Flip software. My Flip is about 2 years old, so perhaps this problem no
longer exists with the newer models.
Ali,
I'd agree with others that Diigo is a cut above Delicious. I and some others
outlined those benefits on this wiki article: http://schoolcomputing.wikia.com/wiki/Why_We_Like_Diigo.
I have the diigo toolbar installed on all the computers I use. In the Chrome web
browser, the "toolbar" is a bookmarklet. The subscribable groups on Diigo are a
great feature.
All,
A recent addition the the ISEnet navigation has been to create a list of the k-8
grade level groups and k-12 subject areas. I'd love to see teachers across our
schools participate in these grade-level and subject-specific groups to dip
their toes into the power of Personal
Learning Networks:
grade level groups: http://bit.ly/1bHPGT subject area groups:

best regards,
