<p>Hey all, </p>
<p>I have a great parent at my school who recently (a few hours ago) wrote a letter to their child's sixth grade teachers, principal, two likeminded parents, and myself (their childs "tech teacher"). The letter was regarding a project I'm doing with them. </p>
<p>Here it is. I edited names/school. And the CAPS are hers, not mine. :)</p>

<p>Hey all, </p>
<p>I have a great parent at my school who recently (a few hours ago) wrote a letter to their child's sixth grade teachers, principal, two likeminded parents, and myself (their childs "tech teacher"). The letter was regarding a project I'm doing with them. </p>
<p>Here it is. I edited names/school. And the CAPS are hers, not mine. :)</p>
<p>===</p>
<p><em>I have heard that the students are being required to use the computer to create the visual portion of their hero stories.[My daughter] would so much rather engage in REAL art to do so. I have heard others would prefer it also,such as [another boy] and [another girl], and perhaps more.</em></p>
<div><em>I could go on and on about my thoughts on over-reliance of technology but I will keep it brief.Our children are spending too much time staring at a screen and pushing a button to have a computer give them some computer program's version of the world, to the absolute detriment of their spirits.They are becoming one dimensional,stifled and detached from the beautiful world around them.Many recent publications by educators and child development specialists expound upon the negative effects of too much computer.Here with this hero project is a chance for the students to be truly creative,nourished by the richness of touch,smell,color,manual dexterity skills and the stimulation of their imaginations.I think they would really enjoy NOT staring at a screen for a change.</em></div>
<div><em>[School Name] is supposed to be a place that enriches and develops the whole child in a multitude of ways.In my opinion,doing an art project on a computer is just "more of the same".I request that [my daughter] and whomever else is longing to be nourished by a truly creative,messy,tactile,</em><em>physical and satisfying endeavor be allowed to do so.</em></div>
<div><em>Thank you,</em></div>

<div>BACKGROUND. :)</div>
<div> Project in a nutshell: The students are writing "Hero's Journey" stories- learning about mythology. They'll also be performing, in time period appropriate attire, props, etc. for their parents one night as a gallery. My involvement is, in essence, the scenery. I wanted to do something truly unique and new. So I decided to create an immersive experience with their presentation. This is not a PowerPoint-like presentation. The goal is use Video Projection Mapping- Google it to learn more about it. I stumbled upon it on YouTube and was impressed. It requires a great deal of ingenuity to say the least.</div>
<div> I'm posting this rant to 1.) vent and 2.) I know myself better than to auto-reply- I'm way to passionate about this subject than to fire off a quick response. This is an effort to formulate and craft my response.</div>
<div> I guess this just frustrates me so much because all of the proects I've done with them this year. Some of these parents aren't seeing the value in all this. Where do I begin?</div>
<div> Over the course of my time with with them this year, students have scrippted, recorded, editing, mixed, and mastered Public Service Announcements. They've Skyped with NASA scientists and created project files in Google Earth that have taken them around the globe, retracing routes of explorers, uploading photographs, and "journal" entries. We've worked alongside a local architect to design an outdoor classroom for our school with some grant money. These kids know Google SketchUp better than any high schooler I know.</div>
<div> I believe I've taught them well. I've verbalized to them the significance of having these skills. They see where it is applicable in the real world. And, most importantly, the've been trained by an adult to demonstrate RESPONSIBILITY when using technlogy. The kids know the do's and don't of social media. They know how they should handle themselves online. They know what Cyberbullying is and what it looks like. I've explained to them, in a circle, away from the screens, that each avatar represents a real human being. A person, just like them. This topic should be at the forefront of our students technology experience. Study's do show that screen time has deminised such a essential human quality as empathy. Heck, I've seen it, too.</div>
<div> You can't blame parents for their skepticism; after all, they've seen kids use "technology"at home. To them, it always looks a lot like Angry Birds, txting, or Facebook. I'd like to know what you all think. What would you say? Or, how would you respond. I need to vent here (clearly) and wait until tomorrow to respond- I know myself better than to "auto-reply". I'm far too passionate about this topic to do so.</div>
<div> Writing this has been beneficial and the process has helped me. Thanks for reading and I'd love to hear what you think. And, honestly, I really like this parent. I've had older sibilings of this student. It's a good family and she's never been one to cause issues. Their daughter is extremely bright, but I'm guess that the daughter may be way beyond her comfort zone here. I can see the other two students feeling uneasy, too. They're very bright.</div>
<div> For the students, I'll share with them that this is my first time, too. I've already spent countless hours learning, reading, researching this concept in an effort to create something truly unique. I'm uncomfortable with this project myself. It's a risk. I've never done it, nor do I know anyone who does. </div>
<div> I just didn't want it to be <em>"just more of the same"</em>.</div>

<p>My students have really been pushing the power of mobile technology for the past few years. I continue to be amazed at both the evolution of the technology and how quickly the students find new ways to use it. It cost me between $10,000 and $12,000 in 2000 to purchase one Media 100 editing station and a Canon XL1 for our classroom.

<p>My students have really been pushing the power of mobile technology for the past few years.

It cost me between $10,000 and $12,000 in 2000 to purchase one Media 100 editing station and a Canon XL1 for our classroom. The following film was shot this past spring on an ipod touch that belonged to one of the student filmmakers: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/jfatheree/videos/70/">Bad Luck</a></p>
<p>He shot and edited the entire film on the ipod. The editing program cost approximately $1. The cost to the school....$0. </p>
<p>The students in my class produce a lot of high quality films during the course of the year. As of now, there will continue to be a need for high cameras and editing stations. However, the time may be quickly approaching that we need to not only rethink how we purchase and what we allow students to bring to school. As for my students, they feel more comfortable working with their phone or ipod than they do a $5,000 camera. The cameras on the mobile devices continue to improve with each new generation. I look forward to this coming year to see what the class of 2012 can do. </p>
<p>Best,</p>
