Jane, there are useful applications for this! Having struggled with building a home-made teleprompter, this kind of flipping would make it quite useful in certain cases.
Also, this is a fantasy, if I want to create a public display using a combination mirrors to keep the actual hardware away from public reach, like in a display window... this would be useful.

Vic, thanks for this. Just shows how useful some apps can be even if they might be seen as purely fun. I put the "health warning" on the top of this posting, as I usually get an email or 2 when I post such "fun" items from people telling me how trivial and useless they are!

Great Idea! I'm just getting into this technology world and need all the inspiration I can.
And as Book Chook mentioned, anything that gets kids writing IS a useful tool.

I agree, what most people find trivial, in the hands of a creative teacher, it can be an invaluable tools to inspire students.

I think it's great. I think it's very creative.
