Now that the documentary is done, I now look back and see that making this movie for class was a real growing experience. I learn how to speak with random people freely on the street, how to organize things, make contacts and set up conferences, how to better work in a group, and feel what it is like to be given a project and let loose to do it on our own; which is just like how life will be outside of school. On the actual video and educational part, I learn a ton of new facts about global warming and how or where to find resources and information for a documentary film (free ware for images and music, SIRS, and NPR). Blogging on “Edublogs” was a new thing that I enjoyed and it enabled me to bounce ideas and learn more about the ever growing online world. Lastly, I learned more about myself in how I do my work, my opinions on certain issues, how I utilize my time and effort, and just overall how my mind thinks things over.

Sounds like even though you were frustrated at times, you did learn something–yea!
I appreciate your insight about how difficult it is to talk to strangers and to work in a group. Sometimes a camera is a good way to put a little distance between us and the strangers and embolden us to reach out and find out what others are thinking.
Glad you found some resources.
I think you demonstrated great leadership during this project.
It was a pleasure having you in class. Have a great summer.
