Dang that kid was cute. It looks like she will be following in her dads footsteps, because she is a great picturetaker! She seems to be an artistic little girl, who finds a way to make everything beautiful. I think teachers could use digital media in ways such as this to connect with their students and find out exactly what artistic talents or interests they may have. Art and personal expression is one of many fields that are lacking in today's school system. Kids are being taught the same old same old "Three R's" reading writing and arithmetic. Kids aren't being exposed to how fun all these subjects could be with a little expansion of the normal curriculum. For example, teachers could use a smart board to display a project such as this where the students go out and take a few pictures of the favorite part of their neighborhood or school. An activity such as this will sculpt the child's imagination and exceptionally. It will also help the teacher realize what their students true interests may be.
