| Title: | No Future Left Behind |
| Description: | When kids at the Suffern Middle School were asked to talk about education and their future, they gave Peggy Sheehy, the SMS media specialist, an earful. Listen and learn the bits of wisdom that can be gleaned from the students, if we only dare to ask them. Students from The Elisabeth Morrow School Tech Club contributed machinima created in Quest Atlantis. Marianne Malmstrom (aka Knowclue) worked remotely with the students of Suffern to create machinima of their avatars. Original music, "Harpsicord" was created by a former Suffern Middle School student, Larry Bordowitz. All editing was done by Peggy Sheehy and Marianne Malmstrom. |
