Wonderful! I'll have to check out more about the Fresno Film Alliance. Is there any thought about student voice (production) in the project? If you get a few moments, browse the videos on the site - several are produced by student network members (and California-based :-).)

I hope you had a chance to check out our featured video - the launch for the Forum for Education and Democracy's Will We Really? Campaign.

I look forward to seeing where our connections take us next!

I love your story - kindergarten is such a harbinger of one's educational journey, don't you think?

As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. . Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.

As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.

In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)

Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. Thanks again!
