More films on the website
Posted By Will on February 11 2010
We are about to jump on a ship, so I will be brief. After a lot of hard work, make-up, takes, re-takes, and cups of coffee we have sent off our first videos to schools. The idea behind these is to try and take a bit of climate change study out of the classroom and into the field.
The two types of film we have produced are very different. One is very interview based, getting students to send in questions which we then pose to a climate change expert. The other is much more focussed on the expedition, squeezing a bit of geography in and around us getting stuck in sand and picking our way through forests.
Would be really keen to here from people what they think of them – whether teachers find them a useful teaching tool and whether students get motivated (or just laugh at us) by it all.
More will be coming from the other side of the Atlantic when we get into the Amazon and further north into the big food producing areas of Costa Rica and Mexico.
