Searching for definition
Millennial’s are caught between the paradox of futures past
Raised on a diet of consumerism and ecology, Underemployed college grads.
Keep your head down and expand your network.
As we all disconnect via internet.
Hope in change? change your hopes
Express yourself through a series of egocentric self portraits
And no child will be left behind.
Our Entrepreneurs wear hoodies
Non profits attract talent.
Support your war on terror, like your mass media and leave your comments below.
Looking Back...
Creating this podcast was very challenging because I had to examine myself and the people I grew up with in ways I have never done before. As a project for students, I feel young people would respond very well to a lesson like this because of the technology component, their psychological need to project their own identity, and a way for them to share their work with other peers in school or far from home. There are elements of music, writing, timing, all surrounding a visual medium that gives students a very beneficial cross curriculum experience.

Intro to Animation Presentation
This is an Intro to Animation presentation that goes over the basic process of creating a cartoon from start to finish. In this lesson students will: learn how a cartoon is created, build a better understanding of the class culture, and learn how technology influences art through the invention of film. A variety of exercises are incorporated into this slide show to help students get to know each other and their class, in a collaborative and interactive manner.

Group Project
|
I love group projects because it is a way to bounce ideas off of one another and get new perspectives on teaching pedagogy. Of course it can be very challenging, especially working with other teachers, because many tend to be territorial when it comes to their lessons and classroom, but I still enjoy these challenges and I can see the benefit for students when teachers work on cross curriculum unit planning. Thank you Adam, Sophia and Marie for finishing up this project when I was confronted with a very difficult challenge in my family.

Animation
I really enjoyed animating this video, especially because I was able to use a wide variety of digital editing programs such as: photoshop, illustrator, iMovie, as well as an iPad app called Animation Studio. The most challenging part of this project was trying to format everything so that it could all fit together. The project was also difficult because it got a little away from me in terms of final length.
How to video
I would have to say that this project was the most fun. I really enjoyed working with my wife to film and writing the script was nice trying to find funny ways to enhance this parody how to video. I knew right off the bat what I wanted to do which was nice when compared with other projects where I had to think long and hard about my content. It was also nice to finally fix my bathroom sink which has been lacking pressure ever since we bought the place. All and all a very enjoyable experience, it was a little discussing removing that drain pipe though (I left the gross parts out).
