Final+Project

media type="custom" key="11566958" align="center" **“The Return of the Kimochis”** **Reflexion** This video makes me understand better the importance of use technology in the class. In this video I mix few different technology programs or Web 2 tools to create a nice movie. Do it, was not easy, because sometimes we have to organize very well our ideas if we want to do a good job. At the time of edit the project I found some trouble issues, but I just fix it with being patient and looking forward for other alternatives. I add videos from You Tube, I add songs, voices, personal videos created by me, interview videos, photos, and I insert special characters like Master Julian and the Kimochis. I published this movie public at You Tube. I learned a lot, and the difficult that is create a movie, but not impossible. I did this project alone, but maybe with the help of other students the creativity could increase and made the work easier. Also, this project helps me to hear my mistakes at the momment I recorded my voice. I tried to repeat and repeat my lyrics until I found I spelled the word clearly and more understandable. For sure, I will recommend this type of assignment to my students.


 * Objectives of the video:**
 * 1) To teach the students the importance of control their emotions and express their feelings.
 * 2) Try to show the parents and teachers of the students that using a tool like the Kimochis help in the communication process of their kids or students of young age.
 * 3) Try to teach the audience why we are using the Kimochis.


 * Target Audience:**
 * 1) The principal target audience is the kids from K-3, because at the movie “The Return of the Kimochis” I’m showing them some advices that I want them to learn, with the objective of create a better world. Furthermore, we try to make the kids be able to communicate correctly what they feel, and in a better way, putting in practice their body language, face expressions, language, and actions.
 * 2) The other target audience is the parents and teacher of the kids, because sometimes the parents and teacher do not know how to communicate well with their kids because sometimes they not even understand the fears and language of the kids.
 * 3) Another target audience is the class of Dr. Trespalacios, Technology and Pedagogy. This is my final project, and I want them know one of the best tools that they can use in their classroom at the moment of work with their students. I know that the schools have a curriculum that they have to follow, but sometimes to create great students; we have first to work with their internal fears and emotions.


 * Prerequisite Skills:**
 * 1) The audience has to have basic reading skills, no matter most of the most important messages are projected by voice and visual short videos.
 * 2) But if some audience cannot hear, the video will have some clue messages that can make them have an idea and some visual examples short videos to show the audience what we are talking about.
 * 3) This video was doing just in English. But I will try to do it in Spanish too.

First the programs I used to do this video were Windows Movie Maker, Audacity, and You Tube.
 * Short description of the Video: **

With Window I create the video, with all the character included in. The voice was edited by Audacity, and latter inserted to Windows Movie Maker, and the intro video of Kimochis Song was downloaded from You Tube using You Tube Downloader.

I was inspired in the movie of Star Wars. I try to start with a little written introduction, followed with the song of Star Wars. Music downloaded from Google Media Fire.

After that, I put the Intro Music Video of the Kimochis, just a little part of it, with the porpoise of start teaching our kids to sing the new song and talk to them about a new program in the TV of the Kimochis.

Then, I find a bear doll to be the face of Master Ju Li An Kimochi, also I put a pink towel in his head, and focus it with a black light sit down in a chair. The move effects were just moving the camera.

The voice of the Bear was making by me, and equalized in Audacity. Was very nice to doit, but a little difficult because my accent. First I did the movie in slow motion, but after that I realize that maybe I can do it faster. Then I start recording my voice again with some changes in the libretto, to save time and include more features. Also during I Master Ju li An, the main messages pop up to the TV, to make readers understand better what we are talking about.

These messages come with some reality videos making by me and a friend who help me to do it. In this way we can do visual teaching to the students. This idea comes because I show up my movie first to other people and they told me that sometimes they learn by visual learning. In these small videos we show to the students how they can detect some body language and what could be a good way to react to these different body languages.

Like Master Ju Li An I presented all the Kimochis with seven positive message included: 1. It is good to hug, but always taking care of when and where. 2. Our Smile is one of the most powerful tools to make happy to others 3. Broke your fears help you to grow up. 4. To Share is to Love and give Happiness. 5. To apology is to learn from our mistakes. 6. We have to be brave and confronts difficult situation to success in our classes, work and goals. 7. Friends are a gift from The Force of Love; we have to learn to take care of them.

Almost at the end of the video, I presented Dra. Ivelisse Torres as the Master Kimochi of Planet Earth, called Lady Ive. This video I typed from her is more for the parents and teacher of the students. What I look forward with this short video is to let the parents know why we are using the Kimochis and promote it in some other schools.

Ivellise presented two main topics about her project:
 * 1) Self Awareness - is based in how the students see themselves, including one's traits, feelings and behaviors.
 * 2) Self Regulation - is based in student self-acting; designed to active or move or regulate themselves.

I finish with a good buy message from Master Ju Li An Kimochi, follow for a writing message and the Planet Earth in a Heart form, representing a World of Love. But like in the theater movies, if you stay until the end, you will find a little extra, are very short videos took to the kids I have been working.

This video will could be used with every teacher or parent who wants to present the Kimochis to the students. Also this video will help the students to realize the importance of share, be aware of others, smile to others, to apologize, broke their fears, etc. In that way, they will be helping to create a better World, a World of Love!! But not also that, like a human being they will be able to grow up and learn to communicate in a better way with others, without incur in violent situations, making them positive critical learners. When you think in our environment, most of the negative disasters came from the lack of care in others. I know this video is a good way to start crating healthy thinkers. Our life is based in our emotions, if we cannot control our emotions, we won’t be able to communicate and express our feeling correctly or in the better way.
 * How the video would be used in instructional environment? **
