I had to call althea to post the iMovie on facebook, then had to download it from facebook to the computer which was a mission. I was unable to edit the video but I made some notes with the help of Mr Aure, on how to make it better. For example, having a title page that made the topic very clear to the audience.= = = __**Letter to the editor- Earth Week**__

Dear Editor,

I strongly believe and back up your point that Earth Week is a good and productive idea to build up the students' knowledge about technology and to enhance the capability of students in areas out of their league.

As a student, I found this experience valuable as it was self directed and allowed us the freedom to explore our own issues of interest. As a group, we all decided to choose child labour as our topic as we believed that it would sermonise out to the community towards a positive manner and get the public off their feet and thinking.

Why do people these days have to be so selfish and only think about themselves? If that question was asked to me long before i participated in the Earth Week program, i would have backed up my point in not caring about the people in third world countries, but doing this Program has made me think twice about child exploitation and labour.

The technology seminars that we attended not only helped us with our presentations this week but will be beneficial in enhancing presentations in our future studies. Some of the seminars that we attended included the statistics, iMovie and Wikispaces and garage band tutorial. Each of these workshops had a positive impact towards each of our learning.

In conclusion, Earth Week has been a very successful and productive week and i strongly back up my point that it should be done each year for future reference. Each student in the grade has learnt something new that will be an advantage towards their senior studies.

Thank you for your concern Althea, Clare, Kathryn, Mary, Ivana, Anna

Thanks, Mr Aure**
