Get kids moving

I teach a web design course. Most of the time the kids are tethered to their computer. Today i tried to get them up and moving. Each student got a piece of paper with a different portion of the hyperlink code we were learning about. They were challenged to arrange the parts in order. The idea was to engage their brains, get them working together, and get them to remember the code.

Tapping into her Creative Side

Today one of my students was learning how to use various features in Photoshop. She decided to create a piece of modern art while experimenting with Photoshop. I loved the creativity that she infused into her project.
