Technological+Proficiency

=Global Leadership Project= Cassie Allen and Honor Moorman designed a new course for ISA this year called 21st century global leadership. This class was a semester class focused on the culture of the 21st century and mainly what is needed to voice your opinion the most efficiently. It is so much easier in this generation for everyone to communicate with help from web 2.0 and social networking. We were to design a long-term research project regarding a topic of our choice that we felt could spread awareness to the world. I paired this project with my supplement for my college of choice, Sarah Lawrence College. They wanted me to design a course work project that is basically a long-term research project on a topic regarding your interests. With this, I not only wrote the required essay designing my project, but I sent in a copy of my documentary I made based off of the essay. I chose to elaborate on “How Web 2.0 is Affecting the Theatre Industry in the 21st Century”. When I completed my project, I posted it to our Global Leadership wiki page, allowing me to communicate and work across national and regional borders. It has been viewed from people in Europe, Canada, the US, and Mexico. I also uploaded the video to Youtube so interested viewers may discover my research.

**Physics Video**

First semester of my Junior year, we were assigned to make a movie about Newton’s three laws of motion. We needed to have two examples of each law and give the definition. These had to be clear to the audience exactly what they were trying to imply. I had never made a movie on my computer so Charlotte, my partner, decided to test it out. Charlotte came over and we experimented with IMOVIE. We filmed straight onto the computer, and we only had to do some minor cropping. I added slides along with music until we were very satisfied. When we were done our movie came out exactly how we had pictured it. It was definitely ready to be previewed in our physics class. Being in group projects or even working with a partner can be difficult. Scheduling can get complicated but since we appreciated and fostered diversity in groups and communities (scheduling), it was not a problem. We only met once to film all the shots. This project brought Charlotte and I really close together and we have been in the same group for almost every project since.
