High School Isn't What It Used to Be

High school isn't what it used to be because it is now very high-tech. School media centers used to employ projectors for visual presentations. Now they use Powerpoint slideshow presentations. Students use desktop PCs or laptops in addition to books and notebooks for doing research and taking down lectures. In some schools, skits or dramatic presentations for literature and other subjects are required to be filmed, with group members acting out the parts fully-costumed. Fortunately, video recording devices aren't bulky and heavy anymore. You don't even need to use videocassettes because video footage is recorded using flash memory technology. Images have been made even better with high definition.

Compact Flip camcorders, known as the smallest HD video recording devices available today, make filming videos as easy as whipping a cellphone out of your pocket! Imagine getting 60 minutes of HD-quality video recording at 30 frames per second, 720p resolution, and 4GB of built-in memory for less than US$145 on the Flip Minohd 60 Minutes Black, the world's smallest HD camcorder. Or add just five more dollars and get twice the memory and recording time on the 8-gigabyte Flip Ultrahd 120 Minutes Black. These models also come in other colors.
