ROSIE, the former talkshow host AND ME

There's no denying that I love the Internet. Since I love it sooooo much, you can bet your money that I will spend a lot of my free time discovering the world that is virtually at my finger tips.

Lately, I've been visiting various websites because I want to check out some of the design elements they have. One of these sites belonged to Rosie O'Donnell, the former host of The View. www.rosie.com. I checked out her site and the features she had on it. I found her site to be colorful and very interactive and just plan fun to visit.

One day on her blog she mentioned something about a neat tool called the FLIP/FLIP ULTRA. Now, I cannot remember word for word what she said but I do remember her saying that the FLIP was an inexpensive and excellent tool that makes short video clips for the Internet (in fact, I believe this is the tool she uses for her website). Well hearing about this tool got me all excited and when she mentioned it was inexpensive, I went running straight to London Drugs.

I asked the electronics clerk at London Drugs if she had the FLIP. The clerk did not know what I was talking about but when I explained what I wanted, she showed me a product from SONY called GC1 Net-Sharing CAM. I bought it for less than $200 which I thought was not too bad. Anyhow, I haven't used it yet because I am in the process of charging the battery. I do plan on creating my first video this weekend and then post it on my classroom website. My first video will be a feature of me explaining what my classroom website is all about. I cannot wait to use my mini cam.

Thanks Rosie for the great tip!
