HD Camcorder

While browsing on the intertnet I came across a cool new camcorder. The Panasonic Lumix TZ5 is a new light weight camcorder that looks like a regular small digital camera. This camcorder can zoom up to 10x in 720p which makes the video look smooth while still getting closer. I also find it interesting that you can now record in HD when most homes still do not have HD television. I think this would be a lot easier to have around at holidays or games then having to carry around a larger camera which might not get as great of quality and this new camera.

Fitnessgram testing

After finding the journal articles and websites for this class I found fitnessgram testing as an interesting mix of technology and physical education. The software itself makes it easy for a student and the teacher to individually assess the student's level of fitness. The program includes charts and graphs along with writing the results in paragraph form. The cost is also fairly inexpensive and most of the time can be funded with a grant when the institiution puts the time in to find a grant. I also think the series of fitnessgram test are better then the traditional president's challenge testing and is easier to assess.
