Comment by Reuven Werber on April 16, 2007 at 10:27pm: Hi Debbie,
This project was entirely conceived and carried out by the students. We were to have a Tu Bishvat videoconference with the BA Ulpana in Toronto. Our students decided that they wanted to produce this video for their presentation. They "went on location" in the Galilee and produced this with only minimal help and support from me. It was a great experience for them, their classmates and our partners in Toronto.

Comment by Debbie Harris on April 16, 2007 at 7:13pm: Nice work - I'm sure this was a very rewarding experience for your students.

Comment by Shayne Train on April 14, 2007 at 9:15pm: This is so much more interesting than an essay and I'm sure that your students enjoyed the process much more, as well. I'm hoping to do a workshop on using web 2.0 technology for teachers at my school and I'd like to show them this, if it's o.k. with you.

By the way, my daughter was on an AISH/Hasbara trip this summer and they took her up north to try and help out.
