Liam M – 4/29/09 – Teach In

I thought that overall today was very successful.  I found that the second time around during our workshop was much easier because we didn’t completely understand what we were dong the first time.  The first time was a learning experience.  From what I experienced during our workshop, I can safely say being a teacher is not easy.  One problem was having the prize (blow-pops) in sight of the kids.  No kid will spot candy without asking excessively when they will be getting it.  I think that the first video that was shown in the big room was very effective and even I learned from it, even after studying the topic of the video for two months!  The dramatic effect of it was a big turn-on for the viewers.  This was made obvious by the faces that turned up when the final part of ‘Carmina Burana: I. O Fortuna was played.  I also found that ‘Flow’ was very informative about the wrongs to the environment going on across the planet.
