Documentary Subject

For a documentary, I think it would be interesting to interview Pam VanHuffel. Pam VanHuffel was a school teacher all her life, from graduating from college at Purdue, to her retirement. Pam has seen many changes with regulations to teachings, as well with the changes students are given with technology. Pam has gotten the inside look of how technology has changed the way of teaching, for better and for worse. If we did an interview on Pam, it would be interesting to do a documentary of how educational curriculum's have changed with the change in technology throughout the years, to now. We could do the documentary on advantages and disadvantages. Questions: 1. What was most rewarding about attending Purdue to study teaching? 2. Was it easy for you to get teaching jobs when you first started out as a teacher? 3. When technology grew and started being used in classrooms, was it hard for you to continue enjoying teaching? 4. When you first started teaching, what was your favorite part of the job? 5. When you got towards the end of your teaching career, did your favorite part of the job change? If so, what did your favorite aspect of teaching evolve to? 6. Do you think all of the technology used with students today is positive or negative? Why? 7. What was the biggest change or challenge that you faced when technology took off for educating students? 8. What was the biggest challenge that you faced when curriculum would change every few years? 9. Did you catch on to the growth in technology easily? Or did you struggle? 10. Did many of your coworkers tend to struggle and be challenged with the growth of technology?

Nervous/Anxiety Even though these images may not reflect the direct feel of someone with strong anxiety, many athletes deal from a strong sense of nervousness and anxiety before a game. They can be put under a lot of pressure from friends, family, and teammates. Many people would like to be in 'their own world' and be isolated from others to mentally prepare themselves. These pictures resemble how many athletes need music and privacy before an event to calm down their scares or fears.
