I think that if I tried to put down what would be good for project possibilities I would be echoing what I said before. I think how tos, informational videos, and debates would be good for videos. I think that we could do blogs relating to all sorts of things. So say one of us could cut something out of our schedule all together and see how it plays out and track it on the blog for a couple of weeks. Or we could try waking up at 5:30 every morning or going to bed at 8:00 every night and see how that plays out and track every day on the blog. Or, this one mainly interests me, we could write super short stories each day and put them on the blog as like "the musings of monday" or something. Or even poems or each of us could sit a while and think and write on the blog what we come up with. For example, one time I lay on the floor for a good half an hour and contemplated gravity, obviously not something this extreme, but maybe just something that hit us today. And then for podcasts I for one would love to say do an audio recording of something like a short book or something. Or we could do debates on the podcasts, or we could do commentaries on the news or something like that.

I think it would be cool if we did podcasts and debates about specific topics. Whatever the teacher chooses, or the student. Also, we could start with the biweekly assignment and adjust from there to see how hard/easy it is, and also adjust during busy times.

We could also do something like bring in a special speaker and interview him/her with prepared questions. For example, the 9am show on Life 100.3 is a podcast where they interview a christian person and that person preaches and teaches at the same time. Go to the Life website for free podcasts if you' like.

My mom works for Life too, so if you'd like me to see if there's any people we can bring in from there, let me know. (Also my uncle too)

I think it would be interesting to do debates and maybe video them and upload them on like a youtube channel that we could start. If we dont debate we could show arguments from each side and how to debunk them. This could be cool, and we could start a youtube channel for innova and take videos of this and maybe other things. This channel could be used to show our school to others also,and may show new students or future new students what our school does. We could also, make animated short films (animaker) with no voices and try to depict a message through actions, Somewhat like what disney short films does or pixar. I would love to try this activity.
