Honourable Mentions
Judges comment:
There were so many good videos but I felt the following
deserved a special place. Hopefully, many people will
follow the plan in these videos and reach out.

Honourable Mentions
8.C.2 - by Trinh V from Midpark High School, USA
Title of Video:
Changing Lives through Social Entrepreneurship
2.E.2 by HannahL from River East Collegiate,
Canada
Title of Video:
How the world wide web has changed the world

Third Place – x 2
3.A.1 Workflow Software By Jennifer D from Don Mills
Collegiate Institute, USA
Judges comment:
I really enjoyed your approach to this topic. It was creative
and interesting. I could tell by the video you had enjoyed
working on it and creating it. Using your own produced video
clips enabled you to more in control of what your message
was. It showed how Workflow is used internationally. This
topic could have been a bit boring but you were able to
create interest. The smiles of everyone on the video clips
created a sense of happiness. You told a very good and
effective story and then brought it all together with smooth
transitions. Good job - keep creating.
Teacher: Bruce Forsythe

Second Place
10.C.2 – Social Entrepreneurs Give Hope to
Invisible Children By Kelsy L Saucon Valley High
School, USA
Judges comment:
A very effective video presentation. The opening video
clip is powerful and sets the tone for the seriousness of
the situation. The music that was used in this section
was excellent. The level was very good but more
importantly the music created a bit of an unsettling
mood. You told a good story. You had a message,
delivered the message and created emotion in the
listener. Good job!!!
Teacher: Jessica Friday

FIRST PLACE
The Flat Classroom Project 2013-1 overall winner
Judges Comment:
This video was a joy to listen to and watch. The opening sequence with the young
boy was excellent and gave a wonderful punch to the beginning of the video
Background Music: The music choices were excellent. Each piece of music
definitely went with the section of the video where it was used. I really liked it when
you occasional just stopped the music and you could only here the speaker. It
certainly added emphasis to the message. The music set the tone as you moved
from point to point.
Voice over - the speaking voice was very good and definitely implied passion for the
topic. The change in volume and emphasis was excellent. The script was well
written and spoke directly to the message you wanted the viewer to grasp.
I found the video to me very emotional. It grabbed my interest at the very beginning
with the young boy and then I was "hooked" and emotionally bought into the topic.
You told an excellent story and you should definitely continue creating in this
manner.

The Winner
is…….
