What a marvelous evening it turned out to be watching these compelling short movies. These movies were created and carved by Grade 11 students in the Eastern Cape, and filmed using the guidance and resources of the Nab'Ubomi crew, at their respective schools. The Nab’Ubomi Film Development Project & School Filmmaking Competition introduces the South African youth to the world of Film and TV Production and Media Education Literacy.This is a really incredible project, well worth taking note of.  Bryony Roughton is the Project Director of Nab’Ubomi Film School. More about Nab’Ubomi Nab'Ubomi, meaning ‘This is Life’ in isiXhosa, is an inter-school film competition running in the Eastern Cape since 2007. It is now expanding, in stages, into all provinces of South Africa to become a national competition. Nab'Ubomi has been built around six essential aspects or pillars: Education ‐Youth ‐ Story ‐ Film ‐ Content ‐ Development. You can read more on their website (<a href="http://www.nabubomi.co.za/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" title="http://www.nabubomi.co.za/">http://www.nabubomi.co.za/</a>) and also on the flier below (which can be read in more detail <a href="https://www.box.com/s/lzqbx7awdcnvw63a8d13" target="_blank">here</a> - or you could press the fullscreen button in the bottom right hand corner of the frame). <embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="400" src="https://www.box.com/embed/r2y5dcc26bcwkgg.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="466" wmode="opaque"></embed> Nab’Ubomi’s playlist on YouTube Nab’Ubomi has a playlist of all their films on YouTube – if you can spare the time they will definitely make an interesting evening’s viewing. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/NabUbomi" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" title="http://www.youtube.com/user/NabUbomi">http://www.youtube.com/user/NabUbomi</a> The 'Best of the Festival Award' film 2011 For example here is the 2011 Best of the Festival Award film. It is a student film from the Nab'Ubomi 2011 inter-school short film competition called 'Eternal Inspirations' by Pumela Sibulele Billie from Molteno Senior Secondary School in Queenstown Education District, Eastern Cape, South Africa. <iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Fu6LJgkhjbU?list=PL518CCAC8FC0B0E85&hl=en_GB" width="420"></iframe> <div style="font-size: medium;"> </div> Awards Dinner for 2012 winners <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWVYMPkmrhLzfOai8cHgvLPHUQlKEGevfEPVi59t6J9Oe9itmpSp998r9C7F3shWWRtBHcPzoTLcGdvqxH1vo13DaTQOp-jPy2ZYQfvLimTBEGjqeVJ8O1-T0wrrsEWiTSIznaPdNy9Q8/s1600-h/image%25255B9%25255D.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="82" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-0Dh4Br5ne0ca4-yas5LtBFrsRpTISptv6ZCTxwt9NEB1uvyb6wqiphLCtE5pe3erAxEiv9LNg4wLzar0Sm41xYMzG9Q7yosP7NoCHbnTmHGB2xLmknn8B79oQokm7bq9J26QKruvSg/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="240" /></a>The good news is that on the 30th November 2012 an Award ceremony for all the 2012 winners will take place at a Gala Event in East London hosted by the Eastern Cape Department of Education. This will include the presentation of nominee and award Certificates & winners, trophies and a screening of the top three award winning films.  If you would like to see the learners' comments about the positive effect the Nab'Ubami project has had on their lives read about it <a href="https://www.box.com/s/szjinr2qsc8nvo563gnl" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">here</a>. Nab’Ubomi is looking to expand to to the Northern Cape and Western Cape working with schools in the same way as outlined above. We, at SchoolNet, wish them well as they inspire the youth of our country with this project. </div>

Chris Betcher does something FASCINATING - he reaches back to his first global collaborative projects 10 years a go and has found the students from that project and shares what they are doing now.  I'm going to do the same in about  4 years with my first Flat Classroom students. It is tremendous how the students had a head start in the world by collaborating globally. These would make great films for preservice teachers and your classroom. I highly recommend viewing this video. Why do we incorporate global collaboration into our classrooms?  "Australia/Sydney-based award winning educator, Chris Betcher, talks about the long-term advantages for students of connecting and collaborating globally. He includes footage from his students today who worked on global projects over 10 years ago and the impact this had on their lives and future careers.
