Hello,
I'm just hoping that someone at after ed gets ahold of my Summer Learning Contest Entry "Way Out Here in Idaho". I had a little confusion with the format =D. But I think I got it all squared away. Just not sure if it's getting to the right people becuase I only got a conformation from brightcove, but it doesnt apear in thier search engine =\. I followed all the steps except post a blog, so here we are. Everyone should check it out even if it didn't make to the right peoples. Thanks.

This is my first blog, I am going to keep this blog up and this blog is also for the After Ed Contest. Hope you all enjoy

I had the exciting opportunity to work with the annonymous blogger and her revealing herself to the rest of the public by creating a comic for her Eduwonkette blog. I sent a scripted storyboard and she liked it and with a few edit changes we came up with a comic. Then I broke up the pieces and found the music and sound fx for Skye to put together and animate, and with his great work we were able to pump an animated comic in a week for your viewing pleasure. The comic and animation differ because the viewer controls the pace of the comic and participates more in the imagination. The animation, though, provided us some little extra goodies to implant in the work.

Summer is winding down, but here at After Ed, we are gaining steam as the new school year approaches. This week's highlight's include a special report on the controversial DC teacher contract, the unmasking of a super educator, and student created video on technological tools. Please watch these videos, and discuss them here!

4. Students on technology (User Submitted Video)

As I am logging and transcribing my footage from New Orleans I find myself learning an immense amount about documentary production. I hope to put some of that information up on this blog, so we could have a discussion about it or maybe I can pass on a tidbit of wisdom.

This episode is the first in a three part series. Willoby, the faithful experimenter, has become enthralled with his new technological gadgetry and tries to win Himrod over. Of course, things go wrong (again) and they end up on a journey to find the magical tech guru that will fix all of their technological woes. It was quite difficult finding an angle for this series. I wanted to do something that spoke to the current concern of "Is Google Making us Stupid," an article that appeared in The Atlantic. So what are the positives? Negatives? What's the main conflict here? Are we becoming stupid?

Puppets, dolls, and cartooned caped crusaders, along with our wonderful mere mortals bring you this week's AfterEd lineup. Witness  vehicular stunt maneuvers through  educational technology, advertising getting jujitsued, and experience once again a masked blogger's quest for truth and justice for all in education!
