Above you can see a cloud full of different aspects of my life that are important to me. This cloud was made using WordArt. This tool can easily been used within a classroom for students to display their passions and interests individually and as a class all together. As you can see volleyball, soccer, dogs, coaching, and concussion research are areas I am passion about from previous experiences participating in certain sports, or through my education.

Below you can view a video that I made using iMovie documenting a vacation I went on to Australia. Within this clip I took a variety of clips of different adventures we went on using a GoPro Hero 3. Within this video you can see a day spent sightseeing within Sydney, swimming in Cairns, skydiving in Wollongong, hiking through the Jenolan Caves to name a few activities. iMovie is a fantastic tool students can use to simply create videos for assignments or leisure. The only difficulty is that it can only be found within Apple products which are always quite expensive.

Concussion (2015) Official Trailer (SONY PICTURES) Over the years there has been extensive focus on the NFL and their inability to accept the severity of the results from repeated head trauma. Above is a trailer for the movie Concussion which was a movie based on Dr. Bennet Omalu and his research on CTE (chronic Traumatic Encepalophy) in football players and his struggle with the NFL. Although there are concussion issues among many sports, I am going to mainly focus on the NFL as they have attracted extensive attention for being openly resistant to the idea of long-term effects of repeated head trauma and their responsibility on the matter.
