This past year, I asked my video editing class to create an inspiration video to show at 8th grade Graduation. I gave the teacher and students very little direction. I wanted our students to create and think outside of the box. The ultimate goal was to inspire the graduates as well as the audience. The first time I saw the video it gave me goose bumps. I was blown away with the quality of the video.
As I saw the video again the other day, it reminded me about how much we limit our student's ability to think outside the box. We have everything so regimented that we miss the ability for the student's to get creative. I am not opposed to having everything planned; however, when we do this all the time, we miss out on so many great things that the kids could do. Kids are capable of so much more than we can ever imagine. Please remember that we should never limit our students. Give them free reign on their education and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
Below you will find the video that they created. Hold onto your seats. You are going to enjoy the ride.

Thanks to Mr. Travis Gremillion's video editing class for inspiring me.
