I was exicted when i saw your mail, i appologise for replying this late...being so busy with work.
The economy here in Nigeria is relatively stable although we still have alot of unemployed people.But its good to know ur doing well and the family is great...however the economy is in the US,Jim dont forget that you will always excel,coz u've got God on your side!
My regards to your student from Nigeria,please tell him i wish him all the best..
You may be interested in the film series, Adina's Deck ( www.adinasdeck.com ) which is perfect for the increasingly more tech-savvy middle school students. The films are short, entertaining and extremely "watchable" and are educational for kids, teachers and parents. Episode 1, the cyber bully pilot episode, won best student film at the International Family Film Festival. Episode 2 is the Case of the Online Crush, and touches on the dangers of online predators. Episode 3 in the Case of the Plagiarized Paper the deals with the consequences of cheating. The writers, directors, and lead cast members participate in live discussions when they have attended dozens school assemblies and film festivals. They are booked to appear at many more locations this school year. Like in Episode 1, the story-lines of Episodes 2 and 3 create a lot of "who-done-it" suspense, with plot twists that are sure to promote a lot of discussion on these real, timely topics. The students really get into the discussion topics, and want to know what the characters will do next. Adina's Deck is a valuable and socially important tool.Yeah, am really making progress and am finding it interesting too, I don't have a digital camera yet but i do have a cell phone.
