Scavenger Hunt

This past Tuesday was probably my favorite class of the semester thus far.  First we learned about Pixlr and how we could use it in the classroom.  I thoroughly enjoyed making my own artifact through Pixlr, and I think it could be very useful in my classroom.

However, what pushed this week over the top was our Scavenger Hunt.  I would have enjoyed the assignment had Aaron and I just walked around campus.  I would have njoyed taking pictures of shapes on Pedestrian Walkway.  But we weren't satisfied with just that.


Aaron and I decided we'd take this assignment over the top and take pictures inside Neyland! (No we didn't jump fences or break laws, the gates were open.)  Just being in the  massive structure was impressive, but the shapes we needed to photograph were everywhere! Triangles here, right angles there.  We were blown away with how something so huge and complex was comprised of the most simple shapes.  It was really a wonderful experience.
