The Big Field Trip » Santa Fe http://thebigfieldtrip.com Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:04:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Cyrus and Bella Speak to Students of Carlos Gilbert http://thebigfieldtrip.com/2008/09/cyrus-and-bella-speak-to-students-of-carlos-gilbert/ http://thebigfieldtrip.com/2008/09/cyrus-and-bella-speak-to-students-of-carlos-gilbert/#comments Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:26:52 +0000 Jason http://thebigfieldtrip.com/?p=107 On Monday, September 14th, Cyrus and Bella visited each of the classrooms of their school, Carlos Gilbert Elementary. They explained their trip and invited students to follow along on the website. Students asked thoughtful and interesting questions. One student’s question will make us pay close attention and capture photographs of the clothing that people wear on special occasions/holidays.

 Although internet access is currently limited at the Alameda campus, many students said that they would check out the website from home. Several teachers said that they would definitely have their classes use the website as soon as the computer lab is up and running. We can’t wait to hear from them.

I videotaped some of the presentations, and Cyrus made a video of the experience. Cyrus suggested that we also put the video on the “Students” page -so we will.

I’m eager to be off – we leave Santa Fe in two days!

Keep in touch,

Jason

It was a cool project for him because he learned about operating a video camera, and how to piece together photos, video, audio, and music to make a movie. The video shows our family and friends at our home and at some of our favorite spots around Santa Fe. Featured are the Indian Market, Bumblebee’s Restaurant, Chamisa Trail, and our family vegeteble garden. I think you’ll agree that this little film is an impressive first effort. Keep up the good work Cyrus!
