__**Device Recommendations For Educators**

Device 1__ I recommend a Flip Pure Digital Ultra F260G for classroom use. This camcorder offers up to 60 minutes of video on a built-in memory of 2GB. No tapes or memory cards are needed. You can upload videos easily with a built-in flip out USB arm that plugs directly into your computer. Students can easily create videos and upload them quickly to Youtube or websites. The Flip comes with software that you can create, edit and capture still photos from your videos. You can also burn onto DVDs and email videos. I recently purchased a Flip for my personal use with 8GB of memory that records up to 120 minutes. For my personal use I want to be able to record longer. For classroom use 2GB of memory and 60 minutes of record time should be enough. There are other models of Flips and more brands of HD video cameras as well. I chose the Flip camera for two reasons. I own one and I like the software that comes with it. You don't have to buy any software to create and edit videos. Plus I can email and create still pictures from video clips.

__Device 2__ I recommend a Sony ICD-PX720 Digital Voice Recorder. This digital voice recorder holds up to 260 hours of recording time. It is PC compatible with 1GB flash memory, has MP3 format and is podcast ready. It is voice operated with 4 recording modes. The recorder comes with USB cable and digital voice editor software, and it is battery operated. There are many educational uses for this recorder. In the classroom students can use it individually or in groups to create audio files that can be made into podcasts. Teachers and students can record lectures. These audio files can be posted on webpages with student/teacher notes and assignments.
