Well, we're all newbies here. Maybe with continued inspiration from <a href="http://www.sfett.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Marco Torres</a> and his team, I can continue to engage students with digital tools and inspire them tell their stories.

Learning comes from doing but sometimes that's not enough. Creating videos, for example, is complex. It deserves in the end a carefully planned reflection. Like a good road trip, a video production needs a scrapbook. Students and teachers need something to look back on, something to show them how they got to their destination. So documenting the steps is a key part to learning from a video project. That documentation, whether it be photos, anecdotes, diagrams, sketches, storyboards, drafts, or whatever, needs to be displayed and talked about, reflected on and analyzed. We can document the process and reflect on any video production whether it's 30 seconds, three minutes, or three hours long. So, yes, I think we can get the same results from both a 30-second and three-minute video production as long as we document what we're doing and create time to reflect on the process as well as the product. Thanks for stopping by.

Learning comes from doing but sometimes that’s not enough. Creating videos, for example, is complex. It deserves in the end a carefully planned reflection.

Like a good road trip, a video production needs a scrapbook. Students and teachers need something to look back on, something to show them how they got to their destination.

Its quality shows the effort the students put into it. Also, the fact that they are talking about something that affects them personally and locally makes it meaningful. I guess that their sense of accomplishment through their awareness video will make a difference in the way they face their local communities and the power of their voices. Fantastic! Congratulations to them and to you. Interesting question Brian raised. This could be a challenge, like getting the same idea and remixing it for a 30-minute video! It would be interesting to see the results!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('142671','carla arena','Tod, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video.

What would the results be if your students could only make a 30 second video? I say this as most TV ads are about this long. Would this requirement change anything?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('142670','Brian Lockwood','Tod, I\'d be curious.
