Calling all members!
This year at the RA we are honoring the author Jonathan Kozol.
- Wikipedia: Jonathan Kozol is an American writer, progressive activist, and educator, best known for his books on public education in the United States.
To give Mr. Kozol the credit and adulation he deserves, we are seeking testimonials about his work, recorded by YOU, on your phone, tablet or computer. If you're a Kozol fan, please tell us the following
- Describe how you became acquainted w/Kozol's work and what it has meant to you and your career, and how it has influenced you as an educator and your thinking about education.
- If not already included in #1, please describe one or more books of Mr. Kozol's that have influenced you and why.
- Anything else you want to say about or to Mr. Kozol.
Recording tips:
- Film horizontal, not vertical
- Shoot in a quiet place.
- If possible, shoot near a window during daytime, with the window BEHIND the camera, or to the side, and you in front.
- If possible, shoot using the rear camera (which means you are seeing the back of the phone, not the screen; you will probably need either a stand or another person to hold the phone)
- If you know how, please set your phone to 4K and 24 frames per second
- Ignore any of these instructions if you can't figure them out, if they are too inconvenient or if they are ruining your enthusiasm.
- Relax, have fun and be yourself!!!
