For Australians wanting to try the Flip, I might point out Price USA -- www.priceusa.com.au.

The most comparable device here -- a waterproof model from (can't remember off hand) is priced at $699.

if students developed a genuine interest in their field, grades would take a back seat, and holistic and intrinsically motivated learning could take place.

Goof-off time shouldn’t be limited to summer vacation: it’s important all year.

st American children in the not-so-distant past, “going out to play” was the norm. Today, according to a University of Michigan study,

Just an hour a day of vigorous play — running, chasing, games like tag or dodge ball, and even dealing with or avoiding being excluded from these activities — can provide intense skill learning.
