Beyond the LMC

The past two school days I have spent "in the field" with science students gathering photos and video for a class project to post podcasts, and vlogs on the PORTS web site, which is hosted by Ca. State Parks. It was an interesting exercise in gathering visual information - what was important, and who was the audience. It was fun to get out of the library, we had beautiful weather (which is significant up here) and it was refreshing. But it also got me thinking about guiding students in gathering, evaluating, and using information beyond traditional sources, in a visual medium, and how that is the same and different than traditional "library research". I would love more opportunities like this one, to move beyond my walls, the school, and into the field.
Here are my flickr photos from the first day.
