iPhoneography

When you think you have seen it all... ;-) I am already using "iPhoneography" for a while, but I didn't know the concept... So, here we go!

"iPhoneography is a powerful new artform for digital storytelling and creative expression. Learn how to use it to engage students, build community, and enhance teaching." There are several sites and blogs dedicated to it, the following is just an example: iPhoneography.com.

The use of multimedia tools reinforces students' skills, that is pretty consensual! If we can explore audio and visual channels, it would be a waste to be limited to just one of them.

Besides, most of our students are digital natives, which means they master some key skills to surf the Web and the Internet and to run some software. So, why not taking an advantage out of that?

However, if you're an educator be ready to face some problems, because students know it all about social networks, for example, but most of them ignore other tools - to enhance photo and video, to create and post on a wiki, etc.

This is how iPhones, and other smartphones too, of course, can play an important role!!! We can take high-quality photos or record videos anywhere, anytime and then use one among millions of apps to improve our work... It can work as a warm-up in class or as the class itself! And then you can challenge your students to do exactly the same and present it to their pairs!
