My Project

Photography is a way to record and communicate visually to others (and yourself) what you see.

With the use of cameras, students can create straightforward documents of experiences and artifacts from the classroom that can be revisited and shared with others, and photographs can also be a powerful way for students to make learning visible.

One of the projects that my class will be doing in the coming seasons will be the "Continue Fresh Eyes on Ice". In this project, students need to take photos of rivers and lake ice. It's a small investigation about ice in the winter and spring.
