This week we were able to see what others did with the Prezi's. I was amazed at the ability of others to convey stories through pictures. Just tonight, my wife was asking me to help empty her phone of all the pics my kids have taken with her phone. She started deleting many b/c there "was a mess" behind the target. I was crying "No! Don't!" because these were some amazing pictures that I could only hope to be able to take. Unfortunately, my wife won the argument since it was her phone involved.
The other things that we did were to finish our Pecha Kucha, create rubrics to score multimedia assignments, and review some technology in our groups. I put in quite a bit of time on the Pecha Kucha, but in order to be perfectly understood, I will need a voice double so that my mush mouth won't impede other peoples ability to get my point. The rubric was relatively easy since I used one of the websites to create it. I just needed to modify the assignment a bit in order to add more technology to it. The technology review has yet to happen as of this writing. But I am sure that there will be much learned.
It is awesome that your children are so creative with the cell phone camera. I wonder if we as adults could learn from children's photography some skills about new ways to shoot interesting pictures. I worry that when we set up too many rules about what is a quality picture and what is not a quality picture that we make so many constraints on artistic expression that it becomes old and stale.
