Every group besides two have
at least started editing their
project. Last week we several groups not only begin editing their videos but
also finish editing their videos!
Wow, it was a proud moment for me as their teacher to see them complete their
final project. The first group done was Deforestation.
On Wednesday in both schools
we had 2 groups editing (since we are using our personal computers we can only
have 2 at a time) while the others played a game and arranged another time to
mee...

This week was a bit
different at Lycee Molyko as the kids were busy studying for, and taking their
exams. Usually we meet on Wedensdays for class, but because of exams we met on
Monday instead. This led to a small class with only two groups showing up. In class
the kids were working at various stages of their projects. Some of the kids
were in the process of editing on the computers, while others still needed to
shoot footage. I helped one student shoot his introduction, and helped him
decide... Continue reading ...

The last few weeks have been
the most hectic yet! Besides the regular classes and make up classes that I
have been teaching all year I now have additional responsibilities to make sure
I fulfill. Recently I have been running around from one office to the next
dropping off interview request letters on behalf of the students and then going
back a few days later to schedule the interview. Everything here is a bit of a
process so patience is seriously a virtue. During class time, the students
are... Continue reading ...

Last week the classes at Lycee Molyko were a change of pace,
as the kids finally began editing their videos on the computers. Some of the
groups still had conclusions to shoot and interviews to conduct, but others
began the task of uploading scenes and editing title pages. A few of the
computers had new editing software, which posed some learning opportunities for
the students. Some of the kids worked on creating a title across their videos,
while some created a rolling credit page. Students ... Continue reading ...

 Here is Cardaine working on editing his Nature Conservation video. The Advanced YAN students met not one, not two but THREE times this week. They were so motivated they came to the regular club class on Wednesday to use any extra computers for editing! We tried to make it four days, but when we arrived on Saturday, Mr. Muluah who is usually working in the computer lab was not around and I called for nearly 1 hour straight but he didnt pick up his phone either.
The poverty group unfortunately k...
