Blogging Bliss

 Did you ever notice how a lot of technology today does not include an instruction booklet?  When I bought my iphone, I thought the manufacturers forgot to include the "magic guide" to using the device!  I quickly learned that one learns by trying- trial and error, and by learning tricks from others.

This is so true in our Digital Design class.  Last week, I introduced blogging to my students and showed them a couple of steps to getting started.  They took the program and explored, adapted, and personalized their own personal blogging space.  They helped each other along the way.  And they didn't need an instruction book at all.

Lego Movies

We were inspired to use Lego make a movie.  The students were given a section in the Bible to recreate the last days of Jesus.  They had to understand their reading so that they could build a set and characters.  The students used cameras to take pictures for the action.  Check out one of the final products!
