Sarah is in Miss Ouano's class in Pt. England School, in New Zealand. On Wednesday, April 2, Sarah posted a video to her blog titled, "My Own Music and Movie." In this video, she designed characters, created a background scenario, and used text to show what the girls in the movie were saying. One girl was being bullied by two other girls. When another girl saw this, she went over to the girl and asked her if she wanted to play. It made the girl happy that she had found a new friend. I am glad that Sarah did a video about bullying because things like this happen all the time in schools. If children are able to know how to deal with situations like this, they can become stronger and have more self confidence as they grow up.
On Wednesday, April 16, Emmanuel posted to his blog about the life cycle of a butterfly. He included a picture with words on a chart about the complete life cycle of the butterfly. The chart explained the life cycle very well, and I was impressed with the work Emmanuel and his team did on this project. Emmanuel also embedded a movie to his blog that was titled, "Life Cycle of a Butterfly". This video was created by Emmanuel and his team members. It looks like the team created their own pictures to use for this video about the butterfly life cycle. I enjoyed watching the video although it was kind of hard to understand Emmanuel speaking at times. It is really amazing to me that students are creating their own images and making them into a movie through YouTube or Vimeo. I think it is great that these students are learning at such a young age. When other children around the world see this video, they will be motivated to do this on their own if they have not already done so.
