My POD decided to make our short film with “windows movie maker”. At one time in my life I wanted to be a photo editor, I spent hours learning how to retouch pimples. I enjoyed it but over time it lost its glamour. From editing I learned how much work goes into the final product. It would be over whelming to making a film on our own. I wish there was a way that we could have more than one driver working on the project. My POD has been great about finding the time to met and work together so that no one gets left holding the bag. Doing this project in a group has helped me to keep things simple and avoiding hairy extra frills. Taking parts in a group seems to be the under line theme or lesion I am learning this semester. I can see me using 
movie maker as a teacher to share a final project, or tell our class story. I would record the student’s voices and play songs we used in class. This film could then be shared with parents, colleagues, and even students peers.
Video impressions
Those were some pretty neat statistics in those videos this week. Makes me want to ask what needs to change? With all the neat new bells and whistles we have in computers, cell phones, and i-pods are we becoming a better people? Are we helping solve world problems? What kind of world are we handing over to the next generation? I just finished a book called Three Cups of Tea, in it talks about Greg Mortenson’s vision to build schools for children in Pakistan. “One Man’s mission to promote peace…one school at a time.” He talks about the poverty of villages that lead to extremist groups because they (Taliban) offer an education. “By replacing guns with pencils, rhetoric with reading,” Greg Mortenson has given the children tools to build themselves. I don’t think we prize learning enough.
