PLN 16 semester 2

I read a blog today called "Imagine" by Karl Fisch who talked about a very interesting article called Pangea Day.

Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film.Why? In a
world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's
easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome
that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.. . .
24 short films have been selected from an international competition that
generated more than 2,500 submissions from 100+ countries. They were chosen
based on their ability to inspire, transform, and help us see the world through
another person's eyes.

I responded with this...
Dear Mr. Fisch,Like many of my fellow classmates have said, Wow! This really was a great blog to read about and was really interesting to see the videos. It is surprising to me that we can be so connected with the world at peace while in times of war and hate. Just imagine if we could do things together as a world that could settle out problems. It would make so many things so much easier! It can make us forget all the things we are angry about and bring all of our continents, countries, states into one whole peaceful continent, Pangea.
This also reminded me about how in Ms. Smith's class we had created our own Public Service Announcements to solve problems in our own state. It was a fun experience using video as well to get people to take notice of what was going on around them.
