The mac does not seem to recognize it as a USB webcam. It may be possible to use it that way with some special driver software installed, <a href="http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">macam</a> might work but I haven't tried it. The GC1 does have a streaming mode that you can set in the menus... As far as the external mic, at NECC I used my Olympus WS-110 and iRiver to record, but neither was attached to my computer for Ustream purposes. I think ideally a wireless lapel mic would be great, but when you start using wireless mics that certainly adds a layer of complexity as well as batteries you have to worry about. I certainly would like to review the Flip. I haven't played with one of those yet at all. Good luck and please keep me posted on how things go with your webstreaming work.

I think that what I have seen here it is going to be the right camera to use for UStreamTV for my classes this year. I just recorded my first UstreamTV "show" today: http://tinyurl.com/5uaxq3 I think that I will be able to use it this year for a lot of different things when I start encouraging my students to start their own digital stories. I do have a question for you concerning microphones. I remember at NECC you appeared to have an additional microphone when you made your presentation. I am concerned that the microphone in the GC1 will not be that great if you are in a large classroom away from the camera while the recording is taking place. Could you make a recommendation? At some point you need to review the Flip Video Camera I bought one in April and have used it quite a bit over the summer. It sure is easy to work with and to publish to YouTube with. Wes:

They use their phones and miss a lot. I am really going to think about this. Thanks for the care, the links, and providing the impetus.

I realize that this already exists with writing but I can't help but think that because of the work involved in creating good video, if this doesn't create a greater divide? I'm still trying to figure out how we can better distinguish between various forms of video and even categorizing work as "in draft" or "unedited". http://ideasandthoughts.org/2008/01/05/what-is-video/ I think too often we can easily lump it all together. That's going to be a real challenge for educators. What I struggle with is how much will easy video publishing contribute to lazy and uninspired work?
