AM

Help your students discover the many patterns that exist in the world as they take on the role of photographers “hired” to illustrate the text of a children’s e-book about Patterns in Nature. While “on assignment” in the TUSC I.T. lab and the surrounding community, students receive all the equipment (and instruction) they need to choose and “shoot” natural and manufactured objects to illustrate specific "patterns in nature". 

PM

In the afternoon, students download and review their photographs from the morning in order to choose the best photographs to include in their e-book on Patterns in Nature. Working with their partner on dual-monitor iMacs guided by help movies, students create their versions of the finished book. E-books are completed online (in Google Slides) and saved in an AW Drive folder for your class.
