I love photography, so this would be interesting for me to try to do. I think that the vast array of photos that would be collected through-out a year could be very useful in the classroom. There are so many ways you can include photographs into lesson plans and other projects. I think it would also be a good idea to try to take a photo a day within my classroom for a year. I know that we would have to make sure that each student has a permission form to be photographed. Taking pictures in the classroom for a year would allow both me and my students to remember what we did and learned during the year. We could also create an end of the year project reminiscing about the things we did and learned. In this project, they would be able to look through all of the pictures and use the ones that remind them of what we did. Also, It has been interesting to look at flickr. I had never heard of that before reading your blog. It has some very unique features. I think that the yearlong picture challenge is such a unique idea.

Yet it still takes time. I still use iPhoto as my primary orgainzer/editor. I’m comfortable with its funtionality. On rare occasions I use Aperture or Fireworks but iPhoto is my mainstay.

While I love video and use it a lot, as you know it's a much more involved process. It requires more complex ideas and work and too often time is the enemy to producing quality video. With images, it's more likely to achieve a level of proficiency. Wm,

I certainly didn't view myself as creative but I do now. I think some of these tools are revealing creativity in many more of us. Again, the low cost of failure really makes this work. Alan, No doubt the unplanned, organic nature of this is worth noting. The structure or unstructuredness makes for engaged, personalized learning. Diane, All those ideas are good and very easily done in flickr. Just today I noticed one of my students from last term has been involved with a number of flickr groups with varying degrees of participation and success. Brendan,

I'm quickly cooking up an activity for Learning 2.008 I'd like to share as soon as... I build a few more pieces. I'm thinking of another future session that not only includes expressing in imagery, but the use of metaphors on both images and words. Another amazing note about 366photos- it was completely unplanned, unorganized, and has grown organically. I am thinking perhaps it is an "Un-Project" Dean, I shared your enthusiasm for communicating via imagery, so no ad nausea here.

Our professor was a proponent of using art as an assessment tool. It was sharing my art that proved to me that just because I couldn't actually draw very well didn't mean I wasn't creative. I wonder sometimes how different my life would have been if I had spent more time and energy in my one photography class.
