Teaching Art With Alex - a movie

One girl's quest toward becoming an art educator.

Indianapolis Museum of Art is Ro-BUST

There is a ton of cool stuff on this site, and they seem dedicated to blogging to keep more current information available. Here is a huge project they are working on right now incorporating the city's sports history, art, public space, activity, and hard hats! Cool.

On Movies

I am having a great time working on my movie project, which is a good thing because I deleted it by accident after a 14 hour editing session yesterday! Blaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I spent last Saturday participating in a video shoot and have new appreciation for the patience and planning that video work takes. The projects that kids are doing at Street Level Youth Media, however, also show the potential of the medium to give voice to kids in a way that is fun, and teaches them important skills on a lot of levels. These videos were fun to watch (though some of them no longer work).

Tree Treasure!

I just got this message from Domain of Heros, one of the gaming sites I became a member of before last week's presentation on MOOs and MUDs:

"Your character, Cyberped, just found a World Tree Treasure Key!"
