Transcript for the School of Education Retreat to Bradford Woods Video
The camera shows a sequence of two camp counselors communicating about a student about to ride a zip line.
The camera shows the back of a man wearing a helmet on a fenced-in wooden platform high in the trees. He yells the command, “Brake Set?”
The camera shows the profile of a woman wearing a helmet holding on to a rope that is attached to a zipline cable. The woman answers, “Brake Set!” The screen displays the IU Kokomo logo and text that reads “School of Education Retreat, Bradford Woods”
Music starts to slowly build.
A student is now shown on the wooden platform high in the trees wearing a t-shirt that says “I turned the KEY.” She also wears a safety harness attached to a zipline and helmet. There are other students behind her wearing the same shirt. A man yells another command, “Zip clear?” as a voice in the background yells “zippidee-do-da!” The man then yells, “zipping!”
The camera circles around to show the girl about to step off the platform as the man says, “Alright, you’re ready to go.”
The screen now displays the IU Kokomo logo and a KEY logo that says, “KEY, the Kokomo experience and you.”
The rock music picks up as the student leaps off the platform and screams, “I Turned the KEY!”
The camera then rotates three hundred sixty degrees showing an entire forest floor and trees all around her and it turns back to her smiling face with the wind blowing in her hair.
The student begins to speak.
“It was different than being in the classroom because I felt like people were much more open. They were much more open to doing the activities that were there. And we’re with all the same people that we are with in the classrooms, but in the classrooms we are all separated by our different tables or our different seats and we don’t really talk to them as much because you’re listening to your lectures or doing assignments. So to be out in the open and have an area to interact with your classmates was really fun.”
As she speaks video images of students learning with a card game are shown as a camera spins three hundred sixty degrees to show all sitting around the table.
As she finishes speaking the scene changes to a couple students working together, joined at the hands, walking on individual tightropes. One says “your hands are sweaty” and the other replies “I’m sorry” as the students are laughing. There are more students standing on the ground around them to help if they start to fall.
Another student begins to speak and as he speaks you can hear other students ziplining.
“This trip means to me that I got to, like, go out more. Which is really cool. I already on the bus started talking to people, which is nice because I don’t get to go out and socialize often. So this has definitely been cool for me for that. And just like, taking in the atmosphere of the woods and the awesome people around me. It’s been fantastic so far.”
The scene changes to a group of students standing in a circle playing a game of “Have you ever?”
The voice of a counselor is heard asking, “Have you ever ridden a horse before?” As the camera turns in a three hundred sixty degree motion, the participants run to the middle, laughing, and perform a chant with hand motions, “Clap clap, clap clap, Oh yeah!”
A new student dressed in zipline gear begins to speak.
“I think is a really cool idea just getting people out away from the classroom getting new experiences. Learning new things. And just overall having a good time and getting to know people. It’s really… I think it’s a good part of college to get that experience.”
As he is talking the scene shifts to a student standing on a picnic table with her back turned to other students as she prepares to fall backwards into their arms. She asks, “Spotters ready?” The spotters reply, “ready!” She declares she is “Ready to fall.” Spotters reply, “Fall on.” She declares, “Falling.” The camera shows her as she falls into their arms and everyone breathes a sigh of relief when they catch her.
A student speaks.
“I would definitely recommend the KEY stuff if anyone wants to do it. This has been fantastic so far and I don’t regret a single moment of it.”
The camera now shows a different scene where a group of students are standing together with one male student leading a chant, “what are we?” The students reply, “We’re tired!” The leader then asks, “What do we do?” The students respond, “Sleep!” Collective the students place their “sleeping hands” against the side of their faces and tilt their heads in a motion to pretend they are sleeping then they all perform an audible snore and laugh.
The final scene shows the students walking in a group through the woods as the rock music begins to fade out.
A final title screen pops up with the IU Logo that also reads,

The Yellowstone Field Experience - 2018 Transcript
I love nature, I'm a biology major, so...
this is definitely... definitely something I'm going to be telling
people about for a really long time.
[Happy music plays in the background]
OK so today was a really awesome day. Probably my favorite so far.
We saw a bunch of wolves and wolf puppies today.
And then we saw a grizzly and a fat, chubby bear-cub which is what I really wanted to see.
[Happy music plays in the background]
I feel like this is really just much more of an accomplishment for me if I...
like.. looking back 20 years from now. why didn't I do that?
I mean, so I'm glad I did it!
[Happy music plays in the background]
We can make an impact politically.
And environmentally through decisions that we make.
Each and every day.
[The sound of a geiser is heard in the background.]
That's hot!

McCormick’s Creek Biology Video Transcript
The IU Kokomo tab appears on the screen.
From a rear angle, we see two people get into a car and close the doors as the car starts and drives off, making its way through traffic. We see shots of scenery and other cars.
Seven people pose for a picture beside a sign that reads, “McCormick’s Creek State Park, Canyon Inn, Lodging and Family Dining.”
A voiceover begins: “Well, today, we’re at McCormick’s Creek State Park and we are taking a look at some of the salamander species that we have here. A very different set of salamanders from what we have in North Central Indiana.”
The camera looks out into the state park as we drive along. We see a sign with Smokey, the Bear, that reads, “Fire Danger Low Today!” Students on the trip walk by as we see a sign that reads, “Wolf Cave Nature Preserve. All plants are protected. Please stay on trails. Please do not pick anything!” Student follow the professor down a trail.
Michael Finkler, Professor of Biology at IU Kokomo speaks to the camera: “So, right now, people have been going along the stream bed and taking a look at larva salamanders. We found a few adults as well. There are four different species here. A group called the lungua??? Salamanders. There’s only two species of them in North Central Indiana so we’re pretty excited to have found four so far. And we’re going to see two more before the day is out, too. So, it’s gonna be a fun field trip day.” Professor Finkler looks up and smiles, “It’s a great day to be in the woods.”
Students look through rocks while wearing gloves. Students hold tiny salamanders in their hands. Students use flashlights to look through the woods.
Professor Finkler says, “We can actually also go look into the other end of the cave.”
A salamander crawls through the cave. A student holds and looks at a salamander. Students walk through the woods.
Makayla Tubb, Biological and Physical Sciences – IU Kokomo: “I like that we get to go on field trips and actually experience this first hand.”
Students’ feet and hiking boots are shown walking along a trail.
Meg Moss, Biological and Physical Sciences – IU Kokomo: “Classes teaching about these kinds of animals are so important to get people interested in protecting them and understanding them.”
Students hold more salamanders and look through some standing water for more.
Emily Tuttle, Biological and Physical Sciences – IU Kokomo: “I found a lot of salamanders. I haven’t found any long tails but I found a dusky???, a couple cave salamanders, some dusky??? Salamanders, so it’s very…it’s a lot of fun.”
Professor Finkler: “It’s one thing to sit there, you know, passively taking notes in class, you know, reading stuff off a screen, or glowing rectangles or things like that. It’s something else to be out there, looking for these animals in their actual native environments and actually experience how they respond to them there, actually being able to look at these at a bunch of different angles first hand as opposed to just looking at pictures of them.”
Another student holds a tiny salamander in their hands. Students walk along the trail and smile at the camera.
