Hi - this sounds like a wonderful project, however, I am not a teacher and should be removed from this discussion.  I founded Journeys in Film,  an innovative and interdisciplinary way to use film as an intellectual framework for global education in America's schools.

Good luck!

Thanks Thomas,

 

We have several schools on the West coast who are interested in participating now, so this makes facilitating new schools in this time zone much easier. Let me know when you are settled.
