    This program is not suited well in servign as a web2.0 tool for children. This site can, however, be used as a tool of communication between caregivers and teachers. Though it does not have a direct influence on children, it can also be used to connect with other professionals to gain insight and advice.

    Flickr is a website where people can upload, share, and edit their photos. This would be a good website for teachers to use if they are trying to find photos related to their lesson plan. This website needs to be reviewed outside of the classroom.

    Bookemon is a great site for creating, sharing, and buying books. It is a little advanced for young children but with assistance from adults, it could be really fun. After exploring its options, I want to use this program for my own use!

LTP | Getting Started: "I Wanna Take Me a Picture" - 2 views

  • we’re living in a visual culture
  • benefits of positive visual stimulation
  • Even very young children, when encouraged, have the ability to express their complex emotional lives visually.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • until the second or third grade a child’s predominant means of self-expression is drawing.
  • But when they’re just beginning to write, they often rely on their drawings rather than their writing to convey the meaning of the story.
  • the need to attend to our neglected physical and visual surroundings
  • and the need we all feel to articulate and communicate something relevant about our personal and communal lives.
  • thirty years of thinking about how we learn, and how we express ourselves with images.
  • when I demonstrated how the camera worked to the people I wanted to photograph, everyone, myself included, felt more at ease.
  • Their desire to be photographed was as strong as their desire to photograph.
  • The children’s pictures were more complicated and disturbing than mine — and, I began to realize, much closer to what it felt like to be there.
  • Merton’s photograph reflects that fear.
  • Their pictures and writings made for an uncompromising look at the problems they faced.
  • It’s unlikely that the young people would ever have written what they did without the pictures to prompt them (Kathy’s writing came from the beautiful landscape photographs she’d made), and the pictures would have been difficult to decipher without the stories to accompany them.
  • their photo-essays were a starting point for acknowledging and discussing, in their own voices, a very tough predicament. (
  • how photography and writing stimulated one another. Many of the students I worked with had trouble writing; they would labor painfully over a sentence or two. But when they worked from a photograph that had something to do with their own lives, especially a picture they had taken themselves, they were able to write more — and what they wrote about was their own experiences.
  • Asking them to write about the subject they were going to photograph, then asking them to make a list of images suggested by their writing — this was a way to help them organize their picture-taking before they went out to shoot.
  • These children had never seen each other’s neighborhoods, certainly not each other’s homes or families. They were essentially strangers to each other.
  • When the students brought back pictures of their families and communities, each child tried to explain what was going on in the pictures, and the others eagerly asked questions.
  • teachers rarely come from the same community as their students. Photographs can give them a glimpse into their students’ lives.
  • Photography is perhaps the most democratic visual art of our time. For most of us, picture taking is a part of our family lives. We don’t need a particular talent, like the hand-eye coordination necessary for drawing, to render what we look at. Even children and adults unfamiliar with photography can make photographs of what they see and imagine. For those of us who have used cameras, photography offers a language that can draw on the imagination in a way we may never have thought possible before.

Results Matter Video Series on Early Childhood Assessment - 18 views

  •  
    Really appreciate how the video examples are provided both in a format to view on the Internet and that can be downloaded. Having downloads extends the ability to share the video clips in settings where there is no Internet. (can download to a laptop and share). Wishing others creating video examples would increase access to the use of their clips with a download option. Also appreciate that there are video examples in Spanish on Results Matter, and the promise of captioning. Several examples of using iPads with young children in classroom settings are provided.

Institute Resources - 7 views

    From rethinking the educational process/Mass Customized Learning, providing examples such as using QR codes to individualize learning in K (video on how listed), data and information about the use of iPads in K/1st grade in Auburn schools and hearing middle school students tweeting about each of the sessions and sharing their perspective on what they have learned doing so-this event provided lots to think about. More information will continue to be added to the resource page.
