First step is to create 4 video field notes.
Video Field Notes Guide
DO THIS FOR EACH AND EVERY VIDEO
Intro: Field notes are taken during an observational event to record and remember behaviors, activities, and events. They are also used to record and distinguish the researcher’s experience and interpretation of those events.
Field notes general consist of 4 parts:
1. Some record-keeping notes (e.g., date, time, etc.)
2. Descriptive information: where you attempt to accurately record the “facts” of the situation
3. The meaning/reflection of what you observed
4. Reflexive notes – How did this affect you? What personal moment did this bring up? How did it alter or inform you?

BENJAMIN ISAAC: My name is Benjamin Isaac and I’m currently a Walden
University student pursuing a doctorate degree in the field of special education.
Research shows that students with special learning needs who feel good about
themselves perform better academically than those with low self-concept. A
Google search for the definition of the word special reveals an adjective that
means better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual. But far too often,
students deemed special are made to feel like they are inadequate, subpar, and
unintelligent. That’s why I am attempting to effect social change with the help of a
few very special friends of mine. I’d like to introduce you to Skeeter Buzz, and
Gigi.
SKEETER: Hi.
BUZZ: Hi.
GIGI: Hello.
BENJAMIN ISAAC: These three characters were initially created for an
educational children’s cartoon that features live child actors mixed with 3D
animation. As the characters began to develop, however, I had an epiphany. I
wondered what would happen if I gave all three characters special needs. And
what if these special needs were depicted as merely mental and physical
conditions and not definitive characteristics of who these characters were. As a
result, Skeeter was developed as a character with autism. Buzz, the rapping fly,
was further developed as a character with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,
or ADHD. And Gigi was modeled after my own daughter, who has cerebral palsy.
To add authenticity to each character, I decided to have each character voiced
by a child that had that same condition. As a result, Skeeter, the DJ, was voiced
by Ian and Connor, two children with autism. Buzz was voiced by my son Truth,
and Gigi was voiced by my daughter, Kennedy.
The purpose of the show was not to elicit sympathy from the masses, but to
show children with special needs in a very normal light. As a result, the special
needs will more than likely only be mentioned in the opening credits. After that
the children will merely be who they are.
The education I am receiving from Walden University will serve to provide
research-based teaching strategies and information about students with special
learning needs that will be incorporated into the show’s production and shared
with the viewers. Through this show, I intend to leverage the power of teaching in
technology and effect positive social change through education. It is my hope
that the characters will serve to inspire, influence, and impact all children with
special needs. But beyond that it is my goal to show the world that students with

special needs are just that, special, blessed with differences that force them to
interact with the world differently because they view it from a different
perspective.
Walden University has helped me develop this show into an entertaining piece of
media with the potential to educate the world about the true nature of children
with special needs. We thank you for your time and consideration.
ALL: Goodbye.

Global Days of Service
Describes 2015 Global Days of Service
Global Days of Service, celebrated October 12–18, inspired more than 20,500 faculty, staff, students, and alumni, as well as their friends and family, to participate in community service projects around the world.
Members of the Walden and Laureate communities in more than 15 countries contributed more than 125,000 volunteer hours in more than 240 service projects. Projects included:
Cleaning and organizing the Minneapolis American Indian Center in the U.S.
Building houses for hedgehogs and performing general cleaning and maintenance at a nature reserve in Gdansk, Poland.
Painting, assembling furniture, beautifying a courtyard, and organizing a food pantry at a middle school in Baltimore, Maryland, in the U.S.
Launching a program to engage with and provide physical and artistic outlets to refugee children and their families in Germany.
Serving orphans in Saudi Arabia.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for helping make a positive impact in communities around the globe.

organizations to create more green spaces in schools around Hong Hong.
Contact and exposure to nature no longer happens intuitively, so adults need to
create authentic opportunities for children to reengage with nature every day. We
all can be an agent of change. Changing a child’s life can be as simple as
starting a garden at home or in the classroom.

countries of Asia, Latin America, Africa. And I’ve been in this field almost my
entire career. As an undergraduate at Tufts University in Boston in the late 1970s
and early ’80s, this is the area that I wanted to study. I focused my attention on
agricultural problems in Africa and the Caribbean, and then later joined the
Peace Corps, and worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in agriculture in
Mauritania, West Africa-- one of the poorest and most isolated, most remote
places in the world.
solutions to problems that seem so difficult and so large that it’s almost
impossible to think of how any small organization can solve them. But the truth is
that these international non-governmental organizations that I’ve been part of my
career do come up with very creative solutions. But a lot of times, it’s very much
ad hoc, or making it up as you go along.

bring to them a true understanding about how to build national policy networks
that can address these problems not only on palliative basis-- meaning we help
an individual child get heart surgery and then the next, and the next, and the
next-- but creating national policies and the national capacity to address this
permanently in an ongoing way so that we can take care of all the future
generations of children who need this kind of surgery.
