A Great Day at Camp Cadre

I had a great day at Camp Cadre today. I am part of a group of teachers learning, sharing,and exploring technology. We had a great time today learning about GeoGreetings and then going out with our digital cameras and finding pictures of the letters of the alphabet formed in our community. Then my group used PhotoShop to create the word inspire out of our pictures. I encourage my students and their families to go out and look at the world with a different perspective. Take unique pictures, lie on the ground and look up at the branches of a tree, go to the park and look at the swings from a different angle. It was really fun! The following is an example of what we did:




We also created a Voki. My class should remember these!
