Come laugh and learn and leave with practical ideas you can use in your classroom tomorrow. We’re going on a Mobile Learning Photo Safari where we’ll learn simple techniques that immediately improve the pictures you take. Learn how to teach the same ideas to your students in 6 minutes. Since we learn by doing we’ll start with a photo safari along the river and follow up with making concrete connections to various curricula: What sorts of ways can a single image be used to tell stories and explore complex ideas in Math, Science, Language Arts or Languages classroom? What could we do with a series of pictures? How can we do this beyond the time and space of the classroom walls and have our students generate a bank of powerful visuals to inspire future students to create even more powerful learning imagery? What’s the best way to get stuff off the kids mobile devices and shared publically so our students learn while making a contribution to the global knowledge commons?

It won't be too long until "because I said so" will be disregarded by all classmates. Below is an example of how #aodmath works in a classroom
