Elementary Educational Promotional Video

Flip video recorders available for recording education students' lessons

The El. Ed. Department recently purchased three new Flip Ultra digital video cameras that education students may borrow to film their lessons or to integrate video into teaching. They are very easy to use--just hit the red button and the Flip will record for two hours. The USB port flips out to easily download the video to your computer. It also has intuitive software built in to easily edit videos. Contact Dr. Randolph or Ms. Johnson to arrange to borrow one of these honeys.

Although disadvantaged children were more likely to be denied recess, the association between better behavior and recess time held up even after researchers controlled for a number of variables, including sex, ethnicity, public or private school and class size."
