A Modern Retelling of an Ageless Classic [VIDEO] Personal by Joel Wagner - December 2, 2008July 1, 20101 I love the visual effects employed here. Note the extensive use of whitespace. Greatness! Oh yeah, the message is incredible too. Joel WagnerJoel Wagner (@sywtt) began teaching band in 2002. Though he had a lot of information, his classes were out of control. He found himself tired, frustrated, disrespected by students, lonely, and on the brink of quitting. He had had enough. He resigned from his school district right before spring break of his second year and made it his personal mission to learn to be a great teacher. So You Want To Teach? is the ongoing story of that quest for educational excellence.
This was absolutely amazing and beautiful while being straight forward. You told the truth of what Mary, Jesus, and Joseph felt that night in that they were human beings. Fear, pain, the unknown all weighed heavily on the minds of Joseph and Mary that trip. The reward they received, as well as OUR reward, cannot be measured! As a “cradle-Catholic” and a teacher of 32 years–25 in Catholic schools–I thank you for keeping the true message of Christmas alive!!
