WOW!! That was completely amazing!! Wonderful job and fun to watch! Love the song and the kids and everything!

The video was awesome, a real winner. ALL I can say is that was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Mr.Grothem's Class!

I would vote more stars if I could. P.S. I like pancakes!

The last part was especially awesome,
with all the students holding up
what they want to be.

5 stars for you! :)

That was totally engrossing, I couldn't look away.

Looks like the students were having a good time. Thanks for all the hard work you teachers do for our youth.

Good Job! Corona Ranch deserves to win more technology. I know I said this before but I will say it again: I Like Pancakes!

Fantastic job! I believe you can teach with Technology. Wonderful job Mr. Grothem and class. You should be very proud of your hard work. This helped me see what an extraordinary teacher Mr. Grothem is. Very impressive video and statements about how technology is important in our lives (and classrooms) in 2008 ! Ü

nice mr.grothem! i cant believe you did all of that with just a couple of clips our class did! :D awesome vid! 5 stars :)

This video is like totally awesome! Its better than all the others because it shows that we can all work together to achieve great heights. Keep reaching for the stars Mr.Grothem's class! I also wanted to specify that I like pancakes :]

cool job mr.grothem! nice work! :D

Great video! Some day I will grow up to be like you Mr. Grothem. Keep up the great work with your students. I cannot even fathom what your classroom would look like or feel if you had access to a technology enriched classroom. Way to go! You are the MAN!

Come on people we all know this is a great video so vote 5 starts! This class obviously needs technology as much as all the others, but ask the little creepy mouse he will tell you to vote 5 starts as well. And yes I do like pancakes.

lol robert! it's obvious you like the video a lot but you dont have to go crazy about pancakes. xD haha

you know what noah?

The creepy little mouse likes pancakes too! And he told me he is going to get you tonight.

Incredible!!!!! I love it- especially the part where the kids are holding the signs- from father to president, I am impressed. Wonderful job....

By far the best video in the contest. I spent 2 hours looking at the other videos, but I always came back to yours. Your class rocks!

BRAVO... now that is superb use of technology. You deserve the GRAND prize. Congratulations to you and your amazing cast!

Great video!! This class ROCKS!

Excellent job you guys!!! Where would our world be without teachers? Teaching our future leaders, clergy, and parents. God is never outdone in generosity. God Bless!
Keith and Laura T. :)

I wish Christy & Matt had you for a teacher when they were in school....your students are very lucky to have you....Great Job!!!!!!!!
Suzee Wills

This is the best video!!!!! WAFFLES ARE BETTER THAN PANCAKES!!!!! BEAT THAT ROBERT!!!!

Like Robert said...... I would give more stars too. I keep on watching this thing thousands of times. Oh and yes........ WAFFLES ARE STILL BETTER THAN PANCAKES!!!!!!

Mike,
Have to agree w/ the other watchers....I could watch this video over & over again.....You have to win....I've watched the others......this is professional material.....We will see it on TV,
Suzee

It was o.k. I agree with Mrs. Kenney.

This video is just awesome!!!!! I give it 5...billion...stars!!!!!!!
P.S. Im in the video 22 times!!

-Jessica aka Rockstar!!!

You know what Karmelle? I think you are just jealous and so I am going to write a written paragraph of how i like pancakes. I like pancakes because they have maple syrup. Maple syrup is yummy. I also like pancakes because I like pancakes. Uhhh....... I like pancakes!

Oh for the other viewers, Karmelle is the brunette( when all the kids say YEAH her shirt is blurred) and jessica is the blonde with glasses and she is also the rock star.

Can someone tell me what the other handlebars video is called? I also have to say I like pancakes!

Whereas I am a fan of pancakes, I am writing to complement the video. Nice work Mr. Grothem. Your recording is easy to listen to, and your video prowess is formidable. If I had any choice, this is clearly a finalist. Your facility with after effects had the kids in Red Bank impressed. (OK they also liked the mouse.) Best wishes.

YOU KNOW WHAT ROBERT!!!!! I WILL GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW AND GIVE YOU A HANDWRITTEN PARAGRAPH ABOUT WHY WAFFLES ARE BETTER THAN PANCAKES!!!!!!!

What is the name of the other handlebar song video??? But, I am sure Mr.Grothem's video will be the best!

I love the effort and commitment from the teacher, you can tell he loves his job and the kids. We need more teachers like him.
The kid are amazing.

ITSD GOOD BUT TECHNO TOWN IS BETTER! BUT STILL VERY GOOD

We loved your video. We rated it with 5 stars. WOW, is the only word we can think of. You have some great dancers too. Nice job. Mrs. Brock's Class "We're Digital"

Go to mrgrothem.com to learn the lyrics to the song.

Here is one of the other Handlebar videos http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

Here is the other Handlebar video http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant... it is awesome that there are so many fans of Flobots. I love people with good taste in music :-)

Interesting effects. Best of luck.

OK, I admit Iit.....'m prejusticed..... have seen all of the 80 or other videos.....I still think that this the best !!!!!I.....t will be a commerical on TV....Mike you rock, I wish you would of been my teacher for 6th grade!!!!

This was really good. Nice way to use a catchy modern song. I would have liked to hear some of the kids sing or rap a verse or two. This is one of the best entries 6-8

The video is amazing! You and your class are very creative.

THIS VIDEO IS SWEET, but you should check out technology through the ages!!!!!

Great job! Your presentation is awesome.

This was truly inspriring! I am so proud of all of you! Good luck in the contest!

Great editing skills. This took a LOT of time and effort. You deserve to win.

Wow! It looks like your 6-8 graders already have a lot of technology. Why do you need more?

Great job! Your hard work is evident in your terrific video! I enjoyed it so much I had to watch it several more times!

That video was so well produced. I really enjoyed it. It is evident that you love teaching.

I appreciate the love you have for your job and believe you are a very good teacher, BUT... I think this looks like you have a lot of technology and that YOU used it and not the students. It was very good and also very professional. If you can do all this with the technology you have, then it is obvious you don't need anymore.

HBO deserves an emmy for this presentation. I am a teacher and it is not about me,me, me. It is about the students.

This video ROCKS!!!! and Robert french toast is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY better!

Ok you nonpancake-lovers, stop posting bad comments. This is only for good, pancake-loving comments like"Good Job" or "Nice Video" And thank you holcombehurd for feeling my love of pancakes. (: )

sglenn we used it too!!! I think its kinda nice that Mr.Grothem filmed and edited it, but without US there wouldnt have been a video.

Hush mary! No one eats french toast anymore, this is America!!!!!!!!!!!

The video is nice. Song sounds good and it looks great visually.

But, I think the kids should have done more to contribute.
Reading these comments that the students posted here, it seems that the teacher did all of the editing and the music. The video seems to feature the teacher more than the students themselves, as well.

To cloaka and sglenn, I have to disagree. We do need the technology. The effects used in this video were mostly created with free-trial softwares downloaded from the Internet. The only equipment Mr. Grothem has in his classroom are a borrowed LCD projector, 3 6 year old IBMs running Windows 2000, and his personal laptop (which was featured in the video). If you listen to the video, the video is about all of the possibilities and learning that could occur if Mr. Grothem had up-to-date equipment.

Well Angel, i understand, but you know the quotes that is student quotes class quotes and the pivot (stick figures clip) that was all the students work too. And we contributed OUR ideas to the video! He did edit it, but like I said that was pretty much it. We did the rest. We had to stay after school a lot of days, give up our lunch recess( not lunch we still ate, just the recess) and to top all of that we worked on the pivot at home ALONE without Mr. Grothem's help. And Robert French toast IS better!

Don't even respond back to negative comments. You guys/girls did a great job and you know that, be proud of your efforts.

i dont know what i did, but 50 stars just appeared next to the rate section!!!

Last comment, many of the other videos already showcase what they are doing with technology because they have it at their schools. In this video it is not showcased because it does not exist.

Mr. Grothem, I Give your video ***** Because you Liked my video. We are belivers.

Cool little mouse or rat

THIS VIDEO IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!! (french toast is better than pancakes and waffles put together!!!)

I just watched the winner!!! Let's all vote to insure victory!!

good video none of your kids talk though whats up with that?!?!?

The children's own quotes were used through out.

You're video is amazing. I will be pulling for you for the 6-8 category! Check us out http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant... for the 9-12! Good luck!

Good job you guys, 5-stars it is :)

Wish I had teachers like that when I was in school...
Maybe I could have been a Rockstar, a President or a Ninja!
Yes, it would definitely be cool to be a Ninja :)

Wow, what an amazing use of technology! Imagine what you could do with more! Congratulations on a terrific entry! I, for one, hope you win! You deserve it!

That was terrific! You should win, for sure!

Awesome video guys! You rock on!!

im with sglenn

What a great video! Good luck!

this video is AMAZING!!! One of the best videos i have seen so far. Hope you guys win and get the technology you guys deserve.

wow.......loved it! Devi Filip

OH MY GARSH this is Christian...that was amazing and stuff....did you download pivot? Theres a newer version now if you want it. Oh and I'm awesome an animating now so if you need anything....(call me)

Robert!!!!!! did u not see what Mr.Grothem posted about NOT responding to rude/disrespectful comments? Maybe u should scroll up a bit! AND FRENCH TOAST IS TOO BETTER!

One thing that I agree on with Mary................

who is sevensorrows? I know that Mr.Grothem's name is mrgrothem but....?

Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWEET another Flobots! Check em out, give em love http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

You can say all you want,but I am happy that the video has come this far and i am also happy that i participated too!!! and Robert obviously Mr. Grothem is also sevensorrows, I think......... Mr. Grothem?

What angel said wasn't rude at all , if you actually see the word choice its more of a "constructive criticism" really. I think its harder for kids to understand that though. She/He left positive comments first , then addressed some things tthat could be improved on .

I agree with Angel. Im not saying that this video is definitely gonna lose , but I think those parts that Angel said could really make the video much better . =)

agree with coopziscool and cloaka.

great vid. no handlebars, so cute:] and mr.grothems hott, but the kids shoulda had a beter participation..

If you want to see a real video,watch Burnin up for Techology!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Malaya!

TOO MUCH TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to let the students sing a little!!! It seems like its all about the teacher!!!

I would rate this video -10

Great Job! I loved the riding with no hands.
Prairie elemtary school Anderson California.

Well, i checked out the burnin up video and i commented it politely. U guys should do the same to our video. I gave that video 3 stars, not -10

The pancake comments are just Robert. Thats his weird personality,but really french toast is better than pancakes it has more ingredients!

great video, just was hoping for more of the kids you know? maybe like the kids singin or something? a little less teacher, and you guys already have alot of technology so why even run? not bein mean or anything, it was a cool video just too much teacher

pankakes suck. cheese is in. get with it.. nerds.

ur kids are obsessed with the most childest things.. get al ife

cheese isnt on the list! Its whether you like pancakes, waffles,or french toast. FRENCH TOAST ROCKS AND SO DOES THIS VIDEO!!!

Well see who's better!

We''ll

Remember to be good sports, don't let anything bother you. True winners show class. This competition is for fun. Whoever wins will have a great video and nothing we say or don't say will change the judges minds. Interwrite is a great company that is helping education and building our schools, so wherever the prize goes it will be helping students learn...and that is all that matters. - Mr. Grothem

One thing Id like to say before u call us childish again: A CHILD'S MIND KNOWS NO LIMITS!

Alabama is awesome! It's reputation may be a little foggy, but you can't define us by judging us, by doing that, you just define yourself. We are intellectual and creative young minds, as are you all, but you do have some rude classmates, as do we. this is a contest, but you don't have to get personal! your vid was good, yes it had some faults, but so does every body, Right.? Nobody's perfect, and as hard as it seems, you guy's aren't either!! so if you wanna disgrace yourself by leaving unruly comments go ahead, but leave bama out of it! we take pride in our state, ya'll probly take pride in your own too. Let's keep it that way, stop being so judgmental.

PS: some of these words are alittle difficult, you might wanna use a dictionary, its a big book with words in it.. ask mr.grothem he'll know.

omg, KingCorona jus got BURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause remember we're hot, we're burnin' up fo technology!!!!!!!!

im not a boy....thought i'd just get that across... i'm a girl.
an awesome girl, who just happens to be in the video thats about to cream yall

This video is the best!!!!!!!!!! We deserve to win this!!!!! Help us by voting for us!!! Thanks!

We had a lot of class participation!! We deserve this! We had so much fun, where as other classes, it looked like the kids didn't enjoy it at all!! Please help us win!!! Thank you guys so much for your NICE comments!

I like pancakes

go to hooked on technology!

These negative comments are ridiculous! You need to remember this is a contest for CHILDREN! Keep your negative comments out of here!

Mr. Grothem, Rock on! Hope your class wins!

Mike

You @ your class did a supreme job on this tech. video!!! What can you do with more
technology and up-to date equipment??? Congradulations to you all.

jacquieq

Um, it KIDS making the comments. Kids that are underage to be commenting anyway..

Thank you. I am a child so I do think I am childish. And I will say it again Pancakes are better than waffles and french toast Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Looks like you already had enough technology, but still a great video! :) 5 stars!!

No Robert! French toast are better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone really even like pancakes? French toast has more ingredients!

Be sure to check out this cool video!
http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

karmelle is right waffles are better than pancakes and french toast

Nice creation!!! Very well done. Good luck to you Mr. Grothem and company!!!

Hahahaha thats funny Gian! Do you know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT TRUE! Pancakes beat waffles and french toast any day. Ask Mr.Grothem he will agree with me.

No he won't!!!! Viewers out there seriously which is better pancakes, waffles,or FRENCH TOAST? Robert,have u seen the halloween decorations in the town and downtown of fantage?

Oh and Mary, no one agrees with you! The only competition for pancakes is waffles I guess, but pancakes are the best! And just because it has more ingredients means BAH! All the stuff they put in them can be sludge and acidic chemicals anyways.

I disagree with sglenn. If you can do this much with so little, I can only image what you can teach your students with the state of the art equipment being offered. It's a shame when adults don't recognize that students with direction can do incredible work with the right teacher and the right technology. It's our children with early exposure to technology who make remarkable advances in all fields. This video rocks.

WOO!! Best video ever!! We deserve this!! Some of the other videos were really good too!!Good luck! Mat the best video win!

this one is good too!!!!! http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

Viewers out there help settle this argument. Which is better pancakes,waffles or, FRENCH TOAST? And Robert French toast is soooooooooooooo good that i'm gonna eat some right now(or at least when my mom finishes making it).

PANCAKES ARE UR LIFE!!!(and yes french toast is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better!)

We do not have a lot of technology. We were in the computer lab, which belongs to the whole school. No offense Corona Ranch but the computers are old slow and beat down. Our class only contains of two chunky computers and Mr.Grothem's laptop. Not much if you ask me. ( The comment I am not responding to is not bad I am just answering them Mr.Grothem.)

If you are relating to labor your mom for your own delicious meal, thats just sick Mary. I can make my own Pancakes if I want them. And guess what? My dad went to the grocery store today! More pancakes for me. He likes them two. ( Beware Mary my father is a cop.)

im not tryin to be smart ellic but im juss askin i rated it 5 starz it was great!!

Thanks.

Peace, around the world, for generations. ( But not for you, you non pancake lovers!) This means you Mary, Karmelle, and Gian! I am watching you guys. I :< And viewers please vote five stars. We worked hard on this video!

Well Robert, lets wait and see i am asking Mr.Carlin which one he prefers. Video viewers please post a comment saying which one u like. Pancakes, waffles, or french toast! And znichols ur rating is appreciated! :)

PANCAKES!!!!! GO ROBERT!!!!!

THANKS ERI! IS THAT YOU ERIKA?

Score 1 for me Mary!!!!!!!! Waffles O and French Toast -72

we have our own vid with 3 stars but with 16000 veiws but yall will make the top 5 for sure

What is your video? Click It?

Now THAT'S how to make a case for technology! Good Luck.

Hey, you did a great job....one teacher to another, I love th eway you used the technology at havd. If you can get an interact white board you can work with the kids in a more close and interactive manner. Have a great voting day!

YAH It's Me Robert!!!

Does anyone like French toast besides me? Oh and znichols post a comment about ur vid. I want to comment and rate it!

wow! great job.

http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

Wow!!! It turned out soooooo cool!!!! But guys cupcakes are Way better than pankakes, french toast, and waffles.!!!!!!! This deserves one hundred zillion stars!!!

Lyvia

Zane, the MUSTANGS are way better than the panthers!!!!! this video rocks !!!
Lyvia

Nice Video it was ok but we're burnin up for technology in Alabama MMS

Why am I here so early in the morning?

Oh and Lyvia cupcakes are good but um two things: its a dessert and two its not on the list! It is only pancakes waffles and french toast!

Hey Mr. Grothem,
Five stars way up! - Buzz Garwood, Coronita Elementary, Corona! Go Corona Norco Unified!

our vid is burnin up for technology u should try it

waffles are better than french toast and pancakes.waffles come in variety too robert.so take that.and lyvia GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!

I saw the burnin up for technology video. It was cool. I prbably would have liked it more if it wasn't a jonas brother song. Oh well.

Well pancakes are flat and perfectly rounded. Waffles have dents in them. No one wants to eat spongebob for breakfast!

I have to agree with Karmelle. I mean the lyrics were perfectly matched and it was cool and all, but I can not stand the Jonas Brothers! ( I still voted four stars though.)

Wow. We are freaks for coming on this early in the morning. ( :

Great video :)

( :

Same thing here( what Karmelle said) Good vid(Burnin up for technology)

Hey Kids,
Support a local Corona Norco District school...Coronita. They entered in the k-5 category. (This is where Mrs. Kwiatkowski's husband works)
http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

Sweetness! I voted 5 stars on that video.

robert pancakes look like mickey mouses face and ears no one wants to eat mickey mouse.

Some of you need to go outside and play instead of spending so much time on this site leaving mindless comments about pancakes. Represent your school, teacher and classmates in an intelligent manner.

Nicely done! This video is visually appealing and the kids seem engaged throughout. The editing is impressive and the audio is clear and easy on the ears. This is a definite contender for the finalist!!

Nice job Good Luck. Miss Pacilli Don't Stop Believein'
http://eimakeover.shycast.com/contestant...

Ok look im not in the "battle" between pancakes, waffles, and french toast but i have to agree with........Robert!!!! Pancakes are perfectly round and flat and waffles do have dents in them!

Thank you Jessica!

Yur welcome!

October 31st people...come on...please!!!!!!!!!!

I know !!! We must be a finalist for Corona Ranch's survival!

Come on people 5 stars!

I agree with photomom. I used to leave mindless comment. But I don't now. Anyways, THIS VIDEO ROCKS!!!!!

In addition to that photomom, kids under 13 weren't even allowed to register e-mail addresses on the site..

best vid i've watched! go Mr. Grothem's class!!!!

5 stars! maybe, even 5 infinity stars!
