What is the theme for your two videos?

The theme for our two videos is "Everyday Family Play: A Prescription for a Closer, Healthier, Happier Family." This theme is to suggest that playing together and being physically active as a family, no matter the age whether it be two years old to seventy years old, you can participate and become closer and happier as a family as well as reaching the benefits of healthier lifestyl

1- have a family participate in the video (mom, dad, few kids- different ages). have each person say one word “every” “day” “family” “play” (like mom says every, one kid says day, etc....) and then cut to a scene of them playing a game or doing something. then have them alternate saying “prescription for a closer, happier, healthier family” and then have a scene of them playing something again. and end with a cute family picture with the theme written.

2- “no speaking” video- just music or a song. have different scenes of the family playing together, having fun. have writing come up with the theme and sub-line (was thinking letter by letter in a side-walk chalk style, just a thought).. just a “feel good” commercial

Internet Safety

So I am very very very intrigued with internet safety. There is this movie that came out called "CATFISH". Its about these brothers who have this little eight year old girl sends him a painting of one of his photographs. They become Facebook friends and soon they are facebook friends with this little girls whole family, including her mother, father, and her attractive older sister Megan, a songwriter.

For a documentary, the boys film this long-distance relationship with Megan through the Internet and phone calls and want to meeting in person. The brothers find out that Megan is taking credit for things that she found on youtube, and that she is lying.

The brothers decide to continue the relationship for the documentary. They travel to Michigan to confront Megan. The truth is revealed and I hope that this is enough information to make everyone want to see this and to make them want to be more careful about the internet.

I took my little brother who is 17 to this movie. Its a deffinate eye opener. Afterward we both questioned if we had too much of our lives out to the public. We want to protect ourselves i think it would even be wise if i took my birthday down from FB. I thought this was a great wakeup call. If you want to watch this movie it only plays in jordan landing in south jordan. i dont know why but it only got released to one theatre in utah.

Discuss your feelings about this project both in terms of what you learned and its usefulness to you as a teacher. As you discuss the project the following are some things you should consider: Do you feel the project was beneficial? Would you use a website like this in your class (why or why not)? Do you feel you could create another website if asked to do so? Was it easier (or more difficult) to create this website that you thought it would be? Also, make sure you include the URL (web address) of your website so I can grade it.

This project was really hard for me. I went into this assignment not knowing anything. But I can definately say that i learned a ton from this. I believe as a teacher this will help me make syllabuses, and disclusure statements. also too with calandering. I would never do a website like this in my class i feel like it would overwhelm my students and being over whelmed is never fun. It was more difficult than i thought it would be.

I feel that I am learning a lot from this class. I feel as though this assignment is a bit overwhelming, and is hard because we only meet once a week. This is all new material to me and through my learning process, I am trying really hard, but I am a question asker, and as I am doing this assignment at home I feel as though I have a lot of questions that go unanswered. I am so so grateful for the extension on this assignment. It was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. my site

September 30 2010

Same question as last week, but make sure you post for both weeks. As a reminder, here's the topic from last week: Talk about challenges or problems you have. If you find solutions to them, include those as well. If you find an easier way to do something or a tutorial or some other helpful resource, share that as well. Read your group member’s PLE’s and if they have a problem and you know how to fix it, leave a comment and tell them!

A problem I experienced is that I didn't know how to get back into my site on gmail. So I simply had to go log into gmail, go into my site, underneath the more tab and just find it. It was the whole more thing that threw me off. I am still overwhelmed and cant wait for this assignment to be completed.
