Coca Cola Zero Spoofs by Ariana 2 comments

26 Aug 2006 @ 16:52, by Gerald Vest The Trouble with earthlings is their early adulthood. As long as they are young, they are loveable, open-hearted, tolerant, eager to learn and to collaborate. They can even be induced to play with one another. Most adults, however, are mortal enemies. The only educational problem earth has is how to keep them young. (Growing Young, Ashley Montagu) I recently learned that Google provides free uploads for pictures and videos so I had the good fortune to post three short videos about Coca Cola Zero spoofs that Ariana, one of my granddaughters made. I think they are very funny and demonstrate the playfulness, joy and skill of our 7yr. old artist, actor and athlete. When I play with my three grandchildren, we enjoy many games, ride our bikes, do theatre, art work, dance, read stories and whatever they enjoy. (Do visit one of my earlier logs that we made while developing an art project with our three kids demonstrating a method created by our good friend, great teacher and NCN colleague, Judih.) [link] Currently, our kids are enjoying photography so I give them one of my cameras and they learn how to entertain themselves and also to load them on our computer. These three very short videos are one example of how we use photography and technology to support the children's interest and enthusiasm with acting and in expressing their openness and spontaineity. Please comment so that I can share them with Ari.

Ariana and I took a trip to a local park a few weeks ago and she asked if she could have a soft drink. I wasn't aware that her mother didn't allow them, but she purchased a Coca Cola Zero and began making up a story about how this drink gives her energy while I did the camera work. I have such a great time with these kids and laugh for hours on end. If you want to improve your health and happiness, do find time to play with your kids and grandchildren. I also encourage those of you who are teachers to use the camera in your classroom to help build confidence, self-esteem and creativity. Obviously, the kids love to see their pictures and enjoy watching their peers expressing themselves as well. I am hoping that as a New Civilization we can dedicate these logs to improving the quality of health and education for our children families.
