Yup. All you need is a microphone (ours cost $4.50) plugged into the back of your computer. Here are links to 3 of our clips

I think I need some good compression software that would help us shrink the file size on these. Anyway, if you'd like to take a look, here they are, warts and all.

Thanks Larry.  We have some Samsung document cameras that record video (no
audio though).

Does the AverMedia record audio with the video?

We used a document camera (an AverMedia 300AF, $499) to take video. It
connects via USB. It is, admittedly, lower quality, but still, somehow,
good enough for us--and affordable, too. MovieMaker was a bust though: when
I opened the video clip in MovieMaker and trimmed off a bit from the
beginning and a bit from the end, the resulting MovieMaker file was twice
as long and the audio was noticeably schlonged.

We are wanting to incorporate Windows Movie Maker into our classrooms but
I'm not sure what kind/model of video camera to buy.

I'd like one that will connect via USB, if such a model exists.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.
