One Week Left! (well, two)

I just like to create a sense of urgency.

I just read an interesting report about an article in Nature that said there was a global cooling.   The angle was a worry that if there was a cooling happening (caused by natural  changes in ocean currents) over the next 7-8 years, then governments would not feel the urgency to curb greenhouse gases which are causing harm in some ways.

Today our editing went much better–all cords were available, all film got uploaded, no computers froze.  All in all, a successful day.  I’m trying to make sure that everyone is able to edit something and that our computer geniuses are not taking over the entire process.

The blogs are good, but the kids have lost track of what they have to do on a daily basis–perhaps they have written blogs and not published them.  When I gave out grades, many people were surprised by how much was NOT there.  They were supposed to have a total of 11 sources, and many did not have enough.  I’m hoping when they check they’ll be able to find everything.

We need to figure out a title–I think I’ll send an e-mail with a survey link so we can get that decided over the weekend.

I need to make screencasts for editing clips and adding voice-overs.

    I’m Working on the Conclusion… do you think you can ask everyone to look for a great ending clip and send it to me?
