Self-Organizing Learning Environments

I watched this TED talk for a different class, and I thought it was applicable to some of our discussions throughout the semester.

Mitra's research demonstrates that if children have interest, education will happen -- and technology is a big part of that.  He develops this idea of SOLE's (Self-Organizing Learning Environments) where children sit in groups and work together using a shared computer. Using technology AND working together seems to enrich the learning experience. It reminds me of some of our discussions about using the computer collaboratively, rather than independently.

Becca H's Exhibition Ideas

I am interested in potentially showing my final outcome for the exhibition.  I have changed direction from my original idea, focusing on collage, photography, and environment.  I am working with collaging photographs using photoshop to create layered landscapes.  Below is an image of the outcome.  I can show a digital file (on a projector, if available), or I can print the file. The image size is 2x8.

Another idea is to exhibit two of my yarn scans.  Below are the images.  I can show the digital files (if we have a projector) or use prints on 8.5x11 paper.

Alternatively, I could show the collage piece that I created from the photography assignment.  The original collage is 9x12. I could also scan it and use a digital file, or scan it and print the file on 8.5x11 paper. 

Possible Exhibition Pieces?

Though I wish my final project would be completed tonight in time for the exhibition (would it be possible to add it later, if there's space? It would probably be five or six 8"x10" photographic prints), I would like to exhibit some of my scanning, photography, and printing projects from this semester - they will all be printed on an assortment of textured papers, ranging from 4"x6" to 13"x19".

I will bring in a large assortment of those works, but here are some possibilities (some of which might be removed from the batch I bring tomorrow): A. Scans; B. Intentional Mistakes; C. Revelation (Clouds and Light)

  

 

Exhibition work

Here are the pieces I would like to include if there is space. I am very sorry I wont be able to make it Tuesday but since I live in New Paltz I can really only make the trip once a week.

Becca's Exhibition/Final Concept

For the exhibition I would like to display part of my final project. These above are 3 of the works I have begun to make in a self-portrait series. They are marker on brown recycled paper. Each is 8 1/2" x 11" and I am conceptualizing a video to accompany them. I would like to use the mini projector we have in class and mount it on an opposing wall to play a short video over the works. I may also print multiple copies of the portraits and explore how duplicates may be used to create a new composition, an ode to digital photography's accessibility and multiplicity.
