mdiaz@utb1.utb.edu I present the current innovations introduced into the freshman physics courses at the University of Texas at Brownsville. I discuss the philosophy behind the project which I called the ``eclectic'' approach and present some examples of the technologies utilized. The study of motion with the use of computer animations and digitalized video analysis is discussed in particular.
