Learning English with adventure games by Tomasz P. Szynalski © Tomasz P. Szynalski, Antimoon.com Grim Fandango — possibly the greatest adventure game of all time. What is an adventure game? An adventure game is a kind of computer game which is similar to a movie.

Quotes About Teen Fiction (233 quotes) “For a moment nothing happens. The figure stands still and I stand cold and alive and-He starts to run. I make my way down the rocks, slipping, sliding, trying to get to the plain.

Filmmakers Collaborative FC offers low cost fiscal sponsorship to independent producers across the country. Many foundations will not issue grants to individuals but only to non-profits, so instead of starting their own 501(c)3 organization, filmmakers often align themselves with an established non-profit, allowing them to apply for a wide range of grants and offer their donors a tax deduction. FC is not simply a “pass through;” it is a member organization that accepts and administers contributions made to our members’ projects, monitors reports to ensure that grant funds are spent in accordance with funder requirements, and acts as the liaison between foundations and filmmakers. Since 1986 FC has managed more than $25 million in grants and donations for over 200 projects. To apply, please click on “Eligibility/Application Process” on the left-hand column. Once accepted, FC acts as the fiscal sponsor for the duration of your project, and charges 5% on all income received. * Budgeting * Production management
Rhyme and reason: how do we describe different types of rhymes? | OxfordWords blog English has a rich vocabulary for rhyme, but names are unstable: in what follows, therefore, alternative names are sometimes provided in parenthesis. Fortunately, however, there is more variation in labelling than understanding, for the basic definition of rhyme as involving two elements (the last stressed vowel + all following letters) creates an obvious structure of degree. In full (or perfect) rhyme both elements are correctly matched (as in ‘hand/band’), and this can be intensified into rime riche (which as a French term always keeps its italics) by extending the rhyming sequences backwards from the last stressed vowels (‘right hánd/fright ánd’). The obvious next step is half- (or imperfect, near, slant) rhyme, with only one element correctly matching, which divides into vowel rhyme, with the same last stressed vowel but different following letters (‘hand/hang’), and pararhyme, with the same letters following different vowels (‘hand/bind’). A second common analysis is by type.

What is a Global Digital Citizen and Why Does the World Need Them? One of the questions we’re asked most often is “what is a Global Digital Citizen?” Being a Global Digital Citizen is about more than just being a citizen of Earth. These are leaders, learners, and creators. It’s a way of living well in a world that’s changing fast, and showing others how to do the same. Carl Sagan once defined an ideal citizenry as people “with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.” With all this in mind, welcome to your definitive guide to understanding the Global Digital Citizen. Two Citizens in One When connected technology first started to appear in schools, educators quickly realized the need for guidelines for acceptable use. Global Citizenship is a well-understood concept relating to how one participates in and contributes to the world as a whole. Over the past few decades, we’ve experienced the creation, expansion and assimilation of the digital world. Global citizen Digital citizen Tying the Digital and the Global Together Some ideas:
» Out My Window | Highrise Still image from recently found footage: An uncle’s self-documentation 20 years ago with a super 8 film camera in a Toronto highrise. This remarkable footage is providing clues for Maria-Saroja Ponnambalam, HIGHRISE community media coordinator, in her documentary about the mysteries of her uncle’s immigration to Canada, and his struggle with mental health issues. I asked Maria to guest blog about how she found the footage, her uncle, and how it unexpectedly relates to HIGHRISE. My father was convinced he had no films of his brother Pandi. To our surprise the projector was working. My father had never seen any films his brother had created, nor had never visited Pandi’s apartment. Pandi had been living in Chennai, India where he was having trouble finding a job in the film industry. I could relate Pandi’s film to the National Film Board’s HIGHRISE, a multiyear, multiplatform initiative that explores vertical living in the global suburbs.
Revising unseen poetry » Slow Teaching 03 Mar 2017 “Hope is being able to see there is light despite all of the darkness” Desmond Tutu. This gentleman beautifully encapsulates Year 11’s approach to unseen poetry at this stage of the term: utterly lacking in direction and blindly searching for something, anything to hold on to. I fully empathise with them: how often can we immediately grasp the nuances of poetry on a first reading, let alone make comparisons with another unseen poem straight afterwards? Particularly given in their WJEC Eduqas examination, it will be the last hour of a two hour and thirty minute exam! This week I decided to use two poems to build up a repertoire of skills with Year 11: Brian Bilson’s excellent ‘Refugee’ compared with Langston Hughes’ ‘I Too’. Half term’s trip to New York provided the fuel to begin to explore ‘Refugee’. Word challenge: can you use me today? Use me to start sentences if you are unsure: In my view the poem argues that… Biston conveys… The poem is about… In my view, W.H Davies: ‘Leisure’

Part 4 'From Hell' Trailer 15 under 15: Rising stars in cybersecurity Kids born after the year 2000 have never lived a day without the internet. Everything in their lives is captured in silicon chips and chronicled on Facebook. Algorithms track how quickly they complete their homework; their text message confessions and #selfies are whisked to the cloud. Yet the massive digital ecosystem they inherited is fragile, broken, and unsafe. Built without security in mind, it’s constructed on faulty code: From major companies such as Yahoo to the US government, breaches of highly sensitive or personal files have become commonplace. As they brace for an even more connected future, there’s a growing community of kids dedicated to fighting off the threat of cyberattacks. Passcode traveled across the country to meet 15 of these rising stars who are under 15 years old. They are hunting software bugs, protecting school networks, and helping to safeguard electrical grids. These are their stories. CyFi is not just hiding from nosy classmates or teachers. Mr.
Starlight Runner | Transmedia Services Rise of Pervasive Communications Today's most desirable target markets, Millennial young adults and Generation Z ‘tweens and teens, have come of age in a time of pervasive communications. As a result they are far more media savvy, interpersonally connected, and able to express themselves than any previous generation. The problem faced by corporations and big media is that many are communicating on old broadcast models, where the narrative is linear, the medium stands alone, and the narrative is only running one way. A new toolset and new techniques are necessary to reach and engage mass audiences in the digital age. Transmedia Storytelling Defined The term transmedia storytelling first saw publication in Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide, a text by Professor Henry Jenkins (then of M.I.T., currently teaching at the University of Southern California).
