two items to write about was somewhat difficult. However, when I came across the Flip Camcorder and the Wii article I knew these were the two I wanted to write about. The Flip Camcorder article started by giving a scenario of student’s

The flip video camcorder is not complicated it has a microphone, lens, with buttons on the back that allow

to rewind, fast forward and zoom. For use in the classroom the flip camcorder allows teachers and

students to use the flip camcorder to transfer information directly from the camcorder to the

computer to implement information into PowerPoint slides, enables video transfer to sites like YouTube,

actually aid in teaching classes like physical education in promoting movement, and eye hand coordination.

aggressive behavior all while learning control.
