What did you learn on the field trip? I learned about Dutch history and I learned about Manhattan because I didn't know much about even if I lived here all my life I didn't know about Battery park and how many places here in New York has a Dutch background.

Before this program, had you ever shot or edited video before? Had you ever recorded or edited sound before? Had you heard of streaming video? Now that you know how to do these things, would you do them again?I editied some homemade vidios at home but not like this. I have edited sound at my house on my computer but it was not like this and it was shoerter and it was my mom and I singing so nothing important.

What's the coolest thing you've done/learned in the workshop so far? Play Secondlife because I never heard or seen something like this before and I never played someting like this before.

What is the most surprising thing you've experienced in Kids Connect? How so? Going around recording sound from the street and everyday things because at the time I didnt understand and it was things I heard everyday and I didnt find anything special about it. Like when we recorded something like a bus or a car or anything you can find in the street i didnt see anything out of the ordinary but when you go back to edit the sound you hear things you didn't hear before.

What did you learn in the first week? I learned games like Zoomie Zoomie and yes and i heard it before in TADA which is something like this but since I didn't play these games since 5th grade it was fun to play it again and it brought back memories. Oh I also leared about cameras and Secondlife.

What did you learn in the second week? I leared about vidio streaming and how some movies has sounds that are hidden in other sounds.

What has been your favorite workshop so far, and why? Second life because it's easy to understand and I'm into computer work and avatars.

What is your favorite technical skill we have learned so far, and why? I learned how to use a camera the correct way and how to make objects from the real world into Secondlife.

What have you learned about digital media? I learned how to edit vidios and sound and about vidio streaming.

July 19: visual performance

Today we learned how to change and create pictures on this page that also lets you chat with other people and this programe is used to make music vidios and other types of movies and we can use the vidios we had from before to change it like eg. you could take your vidio and put it on bouncing boxes and on a ball or any image you want and you can create a picture or different type of image with a group of people i found it interesting but a tiny bit hard because you have to do alot to get to the page it's self.

==July 21:listening

Yesterday we learned how to listen to sounds and  sound inside of us.  
We streched and then we sat down fort 10 minuets and listened to bells 

and other sound it was like we was meditating we heard things like cars,construction workers talking, and doing their work.We also heard things closer to us like someone tapping there fingers and someone with high heels walking and things like that.

I liked it because it was relaxing and I liked the sound of the bells clicking together.
It was interesting because some people fell asleep because they were tired, it was quiet, and they were relaxed. 
I didn't like the walk because my legs really hurted and because you couldn't talk and I saw a dog that I thought was 

real but it was really fake and there was a band there so it blocked out all other sounds of things we dont hear everyday.

==July 21: Todays Journey

 Today we talked about how we can meet people pler thenm us in amsterdam and I think this is important because it's part of our programs because they have plans to build things that we will need

==July 25:Todays Journey

 Today we made a music vidio and we met the people in amsterdam and it was boring but ok i got through it....the music vidio was boring to make but cool to edit it because that when it's like you play god you get to say who gets cut out or who gets a longer part.
