    Internet Phenom 'Fred' Stars in First-Ever, Original Film, Fred: The Movie, Premiering in Primetime on Nickelodeon Friday, Sept. 17, at 8:00 P.M. (ET/PT) Lucas Cruikshank Stars as the Wildly Popular Internet Character, 'Fred,' along with iCarly's Jennette McCurdy, WWE's John Cena and British Pop Sensation Pixie Lott BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug 06, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- "Fred" (a.k.a. "Fred Figglehorn"), one of the most popular internet characters of all time, will land on Nickelodeon in his first- ever film, Fred: The Movie, premiering Friday, Sept. 17, at 8:00 P.M. (ET/PT). Similar to real-life teenager Lucas Cruikshank's fast-talking, hyperactive videos that have received upwards of 530 million views, the film will center on Fred's biggest adventure yet in trying to win over his unrequited love, Judy. Fred: The Movie stars Cruikshank in the title role and features iCarly's Jennette McCurdy as Bertha, WWE's John Cena as Fred's dad and Siobhan Fallon as Fred's mom.

Fred embarks on a journey to find her, and when he does, he's devastated that he hasn't been invited to her party. This blow fuels a grand scheme that ultimately makes Fred cooler than his classmates could ever imagine... and he may even get the girl. Fred: The Movie was conceived and developed by Brian Robbins. The film is produced by Robbins and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett of Varsity Pictures and Gary Binkow and Evan Weiss of The Collective.

  • A Phenomenological Exploration of Student Experiences in Space Science Inquiry
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: GIVING CHILDREN SPACE: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF STUDENT EXPERIENCES IN SPACE SCIENCE INQUIRY Christopher R. Horne, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Dr. Francine Hultgren, Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership This study explores the experiences of 4th grade students in an inquiry-based space science classroom. At the heart of the study lies the essential question: What is the lived experience of children engaged in the process of space science inquiry? Through the methodology of phenomenological inquiry, the author investigates the essence of the lived experience of twenty 4th grade students as well as the reflections of two high school students looking back on their 4th grade space science experience. To open the phenomenon more deeply, the concept of space is explored as an overarching theme throughout the text. The writings of several philosophers including Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer are opened up to understand the existential aspects of phenomenology and the act of experiencing the classroom as a lived human experience. The methodological structure for the study is based largely on the work of Max van Manen (2003) in his seminal work, Researching Lived Experience, which describes a structure of human science research. A narrative based on classroom experiences, individual conversations, written reflections, and group discussion provides insight into the students' experiences. Their stories and thoughts reveal the themes of activity, interactivity, and “inquiractivity,” each emerging as an essential element of the lived experience in the inquiry-based space science classroom. The metaphor of light brings illumination to the themes. Activity in the classroom is associated with light’s constant and rapid motion throughout the Milky Way and beyond.
