Introducing the Flip Video Camera in HD
The Flip Video Camera in HD takes high quality video that can be easily transferred to your computer and uploaded to a video sharing site. You do not need to know a lot about video production to use this camera. In fact, the beauty of this tool is that it turns all of us into video producers. With this camera, it's all about "shoot-transfer-broadcast".

The "why" FACT: We are incredible at remembering pictures. Hear a piece of information, and three days later you'll remember 10% of it. Add a picture and you'll remember 65%. Along the same lines is sensory integration and it's impact on learning: FACT: Those in multisensory environments always do better than those in unisensory environments. They have more recall with better resolution that lasts longer, evident even 20 years later. If we can turn some of our learning experiences into visual and sensory integrated experiences, we've taken a step in the right direction! ~Facts taken from: http://brainrules.net
