IMOVIE FINISHED!

Our iMovie is finished!  View it here!

Our iMovie is a news broadcast from "LCED220".  It is in response to the movie Last Child In the Woods written by Richard Louv.  In the book, Louv discusses his research of how children today don't have relationships with the environment as they did twenty, even ten years ago.  He interviews different people, some parents, and they all recollect memories from their childhood of playing in a field or building a treehouse.  Something that Louv introduced in his book that I thought was most shocking was that even when kids are in the car they don't look out the window at the scenery and environment.  Motor vehicles today have built in TVs and DVD players.  Not to mention almost every kid throws out their handheld video game for the latest and greatest one every time a new model comes out.  

In the iMovie we try to introduce the idea that children's relationships with the environment are struggling.  The weather section shows what might happen if we continue to ignore how we effect the environment.  The sports section shows how focused children are on video games rather than actual outdoor-fun.  The on-site report showed how we expect so much from our students.
