A Little Old, But I'm Loving This Post
I'm so enjoying watching all the videos in this Archive. It's from the CR Blog which covers "News and Views on Visual Communication from the Writers and Readers of Creative Review" - a trade magazine in England.

When You Have Some Time...
I know it's hard to make time as a teacher to do more than just plan and teach. But if you have a chance, sneak on over to this very helpful site. Here's what Techlearning has to say about it:
Storytelling 2.0 "It turns out a very busy person named Alan Levine created an online resource for a series of workshops that lists (at the time of this writing) 57 different Web 2.0 tools that can be used for digital storytelling. That in itself isn't unusual, of course, but what he did that was different was he took the time to retell the same story with each tool!
The site is at http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools, and is wonderfully comprehensive. In addition to his own oft-retold story, almost all of the titles also include examples of stories told by others. He also has a shorter list at the end of tools that he's tried that weren't successful for one reason or another, so you can see what sites to avoid (at least for now). Be sure to budget a lot of time for exploring!"

Cool Photo Contest (Film, not Digital)
Brian Auer is running a very cool contest over at the Epic Edits Weblog that could be of interest to both Teachers and Students.
The $50 Film Camera: "My main objective for the project as a whole is to show other photographers that film photography can be very inexpensive and exciting. For whatever reason, there’s a popular belief that film photography is expensive and tedious. But through your participation in this project, we can disprove that point and show everybody just how great film can be."
1. Buy a Camera
2. Shoot & Develop Your Film
3. Write a Review of Your Camera
4. Publish a Photo of Your Camera
5. Publish an Entire Roll of Photos
6. Submit Your Link on the Form
...and, if you're lucky, WIN!!!
The Deadline is September 12, 2008
