As I mentioned the 'Learn to Speak Samoan' lessons was the second most popular thing that Tamaki Today produced. The first came as an idea from the students, were the best ideas have all probably come. We were doing a brainstorming session and one of the Girls said "Hey, what about putting together the best tackles from our Rugby Team's into one video". And that's precisely what we did. Nothing has had more views, comments or led to more traffic that this video. The students filmed it (I can be viewed refereeing about three of the games!) edited it and put together as something that they very much liked. Its strength came in the fact that it was child brainstormed, child created and featured the students themselves.
Again I know that its not the best recorded footage (Viliami 'shut up')should have of course gone out but with Moviemakers restrictions I could never really work out how, if you do know please enlighten me!) but the students loved it.
On a personal level probably the best series of videos that we produced that I felt had the most educational purpose were the Instructional Samoan Sasa videos. There were a number in ther series but again they all followed a similar format. Student brainstormed, student created, teacher editing, students filmed - in one take, published.
