Change the World

There is this amazing elementary school counselor at our school (Full Disclosure: I’m married to her) who set out about a month ago to incorporate technology into her classroom lessons around friendship. She found the school’s resident techno geek and putting their heads together they came up with a plan to help 4th graders better understand the meaning of friendship, cooperation, and helping each other out. Each 4th grade group came up with a way to show what friendship looks like as SAS. The amazing school counselor then filmed the students, stayed up late learning Windows Movie Maker and created a great video to share with the school. Of course the techno geek didn’t want to stop there and felt the video should be shared with the world.

In .wmv format for now….sorry.
