Ideas

I have found it very difficult to get started on my video content project. During the past week numerous ideas have floated in my head.

First, I thought it would be fun to tape my kids on "Texas Day" when they come dressed up as cowboy to end our unit on Texas. But if it is at the end of the unit it would be hard to incorporate into my end product to use on my kids this year.

Then I decided to maybe do the topic of ocean and video tape the ocean and ocean animals when I was in Flroida for spring break. But then I realized I may not be able to come up with a enough footage.

Finally, it came to me today! As I sat in my school inservice listening to my principal go on and on about the same old thing...it came to me! I am going to create an interview piece to capture kids prior knowledge about recylcing and Earth day. I can then use my video as an introduction in my big project about recycling and the environment.

It is funny how things come to us at the most random times. Maybe it was something that I saw while I was sitting in the library listening, or something that I heard. No matter what it was I am just glad to have a topic that my ideas can grow from.
