We've designed the first challenge of the 2013-2014 school year to encourage teachers and students to learn more about photography...how to compose interesting shots, to think about your frame and background, and to learn some of the basic principles of taking great pictures. The basic idea behind the challenge is still the same as last year - take pictures, share them on Instagram using the eduphotoaday hashtag, connect with other classrooms, and be inspired to write. If everyone takes even better pictures, it will encourage more meaningful connections and conversations in the comments, and (hopefully) will inspire great writing. Fingers crossed... :)
Here are a couple of resources you might want to look at before you begin the challenge with your students.
I've also created a page of my favourite photography apps. Click on the "Photo Apps" tab at the top of this page to check them out.
Here is the November challenge:
