My gut response was to just throw the filmstrip out, but I know some teachers get attached to teaching materials that have worked well for years.  I used to have an attachment for my flatbed scanner that would scan old-fashioned slides.  I wonder if it would do the same for film strips?  It might be worth trying on a scanner even without a special attachment.  If you could scan one square at a time and make them jpegs, you could make a slide show and add in the audio.

Best of luck!

Jen,

 

Sorry for the late response, but I remembered seeing and ad in The Bristol Press about Nutmeg TV doing film conversion. I found the ad in the Jan. 2 edition; their phone is 860-321-7405 and the price “starts at $30.”

 

Hope this helps,

I didn't realize people would hate so much on the film stips without actually knowing the context of the situation and what they are being used for.

I don't, but I wonder if the content is outdated. When is the last time someone made a filmstrip??

Hi everyone,

A teacher asked me if I knew of any companies that would digitize film strips she uses for class. Anyone know of a service like this?

 

Thanks,
