As the final term of the session slides into sports days and clearing up we are doing a couple of interesting things at Sandaig.<\/p>\n
The recent romans podcast<\/a> is Educate’s podcasting directory’s featured podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n As mentioned below I started a World Cup 2006<\/a> blog. If you have a minute, please give the blog a comment.<\/p>\n It has been hard for the children to get time to post much, as we are busy with filming The Dream Dragon<\/a>. Based on the Keepers poem for National Poetry Day October 2005<\/a> written by Sandaig children and turned into a play by Carol Fuller, an American high school theatre teacher in Austell, Georgia in the southern United States of America and pupils at South Cobb<\/a> high school. <\/p>\n The production is pretty lo-fi, no costumes or scenery, only a few props. Focusing on the performances and how to stage it. The children are shooting the video taking turns at being cameraperson, director and gofor.<\/p>\n They have come up with some pretty imaginative suggestions for how to frame and stage scenes. I’ve uploaded quicktime movies of Scenes 2 to 7 to the internet archive, these are linked from the The Dream Dragon<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n This whole project has lasted most of this session (and it might not be over yet),<\/p>\n sparked by The Keepers Poetry Project<\/a> which was based on a poem by Phil Whitehead<\/a> and run by Peter Ford<\/a> our poems were original published on the Sandaig Poets blog<\/a> and podcast<\/a> on Radio Sandaig<\/a>.<\/p>\n This was blogged by Ewan McIntosh<\/a> and spread via Anne Davis, who was Spellbound by a Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n It was then picked up by Carol Fuller from Ewan’s blog <\/a>, her students wrote a play based on the verses. Carol has also become a frequent commentator on Sandaig Poets<\/a> producing some wonderful conversations<\/a>. I have a lot more to say about this whole process, but for now i need to thank the poets, blog magicians and fairy blog-mother Carol for everything. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the final term of the session slides into sports days and clearing up we are doing a couple of interesting things at Sandaig.
