Well...we love the ease of use, the portability of the video files, the price, and all the ideas for use in the library. We plan on getting, at least, a couple more to get into the hands of teachers and students for projects. When everything works...
A word of caution: There does seem to be some issues with the Flip Video Camera software working on the district server. It won't work on the Citrix environment, either. The software actually resides in the camera, but the computer still has to recognize it when it is plugged into the USB port.
Our hero, Nick from DTS, spent a lot (a lot) of time trying to make this work for us. So far? ...well, it is still showing some errors when we plug the camera in. We'll do some more playing, editing, and investigating to make sure this is a great camera for use in the library.
Just a note: I plan on getting one for my own use. It works like a dream on a non-school computer (my laptop or home computer). When time permits (?), I'll post a sample video here for you to view. Coming soon...

Can't wait to see the samples from your own recordings! I love the camera/video/voice stuff!
I've been updating our tech teacher about this video camera. One of his tech classes does a weekly Friday video announcements broadcast over all of the classroom TV's. I'll look forward to more information from your school! We will let you get all of the bugs out of the system first!
