Description

As a way to encourage collaboration and creativity, this project involves using classes (or teachers) from two different places. Each sends the other approximately 5 photos from their region. The other needs to make an interesting collage using 2 or more of the photos they were given to work with. Then they send back their creation and keep going. As an experiment, I tried this with fellow teacher and Adobe Education Leader, Ross Wallis. He edited the sailboat collage with my photos using Photoshop Touch, and I edited the crow collage with his photos using Photoshop CS6. Mine were taken in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his were taken in Cork, Ireland. Along with this lesson plan/project idea, I'm posting the results of our experiment to get an idea. I think this is a great way to motivate students on a global collaboration level. Students would enjoy the challenge of using someone else's photo, but it is also fun to see what others can do with your photos. It's also a great way to "gamify" the curriculum.

Hi Nicole,

I did this with another teacher in Pennsylvania a few years ago and the results were amazing and the kids had "fun". Thanks for reminding me of this, I will be doing it again this semester.
