"21st-century school represents 'the will to change'"

When I briefly read through this article I was simply amazed at what the kids are doing. They are making actual movies in their school. The are taking a green back drop, then filming a scene from the movie they are doing, then they are digitally adding in the scenery through computer digitization. Absolutely incredible, alot more than we are doing!

Venturing through this website I was blown away. What a great thing that is going on up in the Buffalo are. Buffalo Urban schools and the University at Buffalo are teaming up together to help students with their use of technology. While clicking on various headings I was taken to the part of the website where the students videos are posted that they made themselves. The first one that I checked our was from a fifth grade ESL students and his video was called "Ernesto BioPoem." This was the cutest thing I have ever seen and out of the videos I watch probably one of the best and he is in fifth grade. He took each letter of his name then used an adjective that started with that letter to describe him, then he acted it out. It was really cute. Next was "Mother to Son." The poem was visually done by an 8th grader in social studies class. The images used were great and this video was really really good as well. The next two weren't as good as the other previous two. The third one I watched was the poem "We Rel Cool" acted out by a 9th grade English class. The editing and recording was not as good as the other two. And the last one "Senior Tribute" done by the 12th grade English class was a great idea to capture the senior class one last time, but again the editing and recording could have been better. Nonetheless its amazing what schools are doing now.
