Second Grader 31:365:2011

This happy little photo was taken by a 2nd grader today in the library. The students had been using iPod Touches to videotape their partners reading a Dr. Seuss book. After this girl and her partner finished their videos, they took pictures of each other, and we showed the class how to Bump photos.



I am featuring photos by students for Photo Friday, but I just love this one so much and couldn't wait!

Readers Theater 29:365:2011

Ms. Swanson's second grade class is using an iPod Touch to record a Readers' Theater about a grouchy groundhog. The DailyShoot assignment for today was to capture Communication.

A Comic Life Thank You 27:365:2011

This afternoon, we had a super visit with our OETT grant foundation donors. They visited six of our classrooms in which students were using the iPod Touches for learning. I made this souvenir for the foundation folks using Comic Life and pictures of our students using the new technology. This was my first real Comic Life project. I'm sold!

Devon Tower 26:365:2011

Dinner in Bricktown with my husband again and took my good camera this time. Through the alley behind Spaghetti Warehouse, you can see the new Devon Tower under construction. When completed, it will be about 3 times as tall as the next tallest building in downtown Oklahoma City. It will definitely change the skyline!

Happy Hour 25:365:2011

Fountain drinks are the attraction at Sonic, especially during Happy Hour!

I drove to Sonic for lunch today and while I was waiting, thought of the DailyShoot assignment for today: Attraction. Sonic's Happy Hour caught my eye. That's definitely an attraction. Get your drinks for half price between 2 and 4 p.m. I took this picture with the iPod Touch 4, since it was handy.

Geometric Shadows 24:365:2011

I took this picture with my iPod Touch on the way to my dentist appointment a couple of weeks ago. I love the way the shadows fell on the entrance to a medical building. It was late afternoon, and I think I'll return with my good camera to get pictures with more detail. The Dailyshoot assignment for today was hard shadows. By the way, I have figured out how to enlarge the photo in BlogPress. Increase the height or width of the image thumbnail and leave Proportions ON. Hallelujah!

Scrollwork 23:365:2011

I had never really noticed the beautiful scrollwork on my mother- and father-in-law's antique mirror base. I wonder if there was originally a medallion of some sort that attached to the center of the round disk between the leaf carvings. I will have to ask and find out. Today's Dailyshoot assignment was to capture something beautiful. I think I did.
