GPP - Flip videos for end of topic project

At the end of our topic on Ancient Greece, the children started their project on creating a 'Horrible Histories' type film using all the knowledge they have learnt about the life in Ancient Greece. It was the children's (and my) first time to use a flip video but they are EXTREMELY easy to use. Just a few buttons so it's the perfect equipment for schools. It's easy to import the videos into the computer as well and the students can quickly edit their films using an editing software such as iMovie.  



Using a flip video to create videos is a great way to demonstrate children's learning at the end of a big topic. Children enjoy it and are enthusiastic about sharing all they know, and it's an effective way to encourage children to link their learning from different subjects. For KS2, children should be able to use the flip videos themselves and film each other. Perhaps for KS1, it is better for the teacher or TA to film the children.
