I spent the good chunk of my “weekend work” curating what I plan to release over the next two weeks in my classroom. I really hope this is approved (yikes!). I did not receive word of whether or not I would have access to the account until late in the week so I hope that two weeks is enough time to release and track some content for the assignment. I plan to go ahead and get started with the cycle tomorrow because either way I see this as having a lot of potential in my classroom. I am going to start with a focus on aperture. I found an infographic on Pinterest that has a visual that I always find helpful. Those numbers are the size of the opening always feel backwards in my head so I imagine a number of my learners feel the same way. I will release the initial visual on Monday and follow up Wednesday with another selected infographic regarding aperture and depth of field. Friday I will showcase two student examples in a slide format on Instagram and explain how the examples relate to manipulating depth of field. I hope this gets them excited. These summertime learners are amazing and I think they will be a great group of kiddos to role this out with. There is something a bit more freeing about taking a photo class when you can get outside a bit more often and they feel that!
I am going to write up an email to send to my classroom and send it out to my team to promote this as well. I am confident that they will share it with their kids and hopefully we can get some more activity on the page. Actually, let’s write that email now…

Side note… I just thought I lost this post too and my relationship with blogging was about to change drastically. Thankfully I found the draft section and my heart is settled a bit. I love blogging again… I think…
