Reflecting

Wow, it takes a LOT to make a movie - even a short one! Kind of makes me wonder how there are so many mainstream movies out there. Actually, frustrations and problems aside, this was a fun (yet VERY lengthy) process. Now that I've done it once, I think I could do it again with a lot less difficulty. And I think this could be a super fun tool for older kids to have a great time with. For myself, going into early Elementary education, I could see using this as a tool to keep in contact with parents, absent students, or even perhaps a penpal-type relationship with another classroom somewhere in the world - instead of introducing meself, I could see doing an introduction to the class video. Also it might be fun to have a class at the end of a school year make an introduction video for the new class the next school year to watch. But I really like the idea I used here, to let new students get more aquainted with their new teacher and their new class, hopefully to allieviate some of those firstday jitters, and to let the parents know that what is going on from the very beginning.

All in all a very educational experience.
