Since many of you don't have cameras like the ones we use at school but all of you have iPhones or something like that, we'll be doing some documenting of your life with your smart phones.
Today, your assignment it to upload two separate photos of your experience with Virtual Learning right now.
The great thing about Virtual Learning is that you can do it almost anywhere, almost any time. I've walked down the halls and seen students laying with their backs flat on the ground and their legs against the wall, like criss cross applesauce, but it looks like they're "sitting" on the wall.
You can do virtual learning at 2:30 a.m. while you're standing on your head, trying to drink an Oreo milkshake, and clipping your toenails.
Like I said, anywhere, anytime.
I want you to really think about where you do a lot of your virtual learning, when you do your virtual learning, some of the things you've realized you can do with virtual learning, etc., and use that to inspire your photos.
I want you to put AT LEAST TWO of your photos of you learning virtually on this google doc:
3.25 VIRTUAL LEARNING PHOTOS
AND I want you to describe what these photos mean. Give me the who, what, when, where, why, and how of each photo.
Here are two examples I took yesterday and today. They aren't great examples, but you kind of get my gist. THINK OF DIFFERENT ANGLES YOU CAN GET, HOW YOU CAN ILLUSTRATE GOOD PHOTO COMPOSITION.
THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE FRIDAY, MARCH 27TH AT 10 P.M.
Photo 1:
Who:
Me, Ronna Sparks-Woodward
What:
Working on getting the yearbook google drive organized
When:
9:35 on Tuesday, March 24th
Where:
In my living room
Why:
I took this picture because I drink a ton of water out of this cup, and there's water in it. When I'm home this cup is always full of ice water right next to me with a straw. I like this cup because I got it from the Kansas City Royals for Teacher Appreciation night.
How: (you can think about how does this represent visual learning, or how you got the picture, etc.)
I'm working later at night than I'd prefer to because that's usually what you'll find me doing, so Virtual Learning hasn't really changed my timing of stuff, but it has changed my approach.
Type of Photo Composition and why:
Foreground background: The object in the foreground is the first thing you see, and the background is blurred out.
Photo 2:
Who: Me, Delaney Pierce and Belle Zubiri
What:
Participating in a two-hour Zoom meeting where we planned out the last 30 pages of the yearbook, which is spring sports, but since we don't have any spring sport events before the page deadline is due, we had to change up several things.
When:
Monday, March 22nd on the first official day of Virtual Learning
Where:
At my kitchen table surrounded by all the trappings of planning the book: the large iPad with pictures cut out on it, proofs in the background, notes, etc.
Why:
Because we had to completely change everything in the book from pages 130-160, which is freaking us out
How: This is the perfect example of virtual learning. I'm meeting with two students helping them problem solve issues and figure out how to communicate that to the staff.
Type of Photo Composition and why: kind of birds eye; I needed to get Delaney and Belle in the photo so you could see that I wasn't just working on stuff by myself.
THIS IS DUE FRIDAY, MARCH 26TH AT MIDNIGHT.
Now I leave you with my sons and I "celebrating" our first day of virtual learning.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, and have a GREAT day!!
