Scavenger Hunt and Google Presentations!

(Source of Image: WeHeartIt)

In class this Tuesday, Kyle, Alison, and I went on a scavenger hunt to discover shapes on campus. This would make a great project for many different classrooms including the art classroom. It would be a great way for students to practice using a digital camera, work together in teams, and take creative photos for their scavenger hunt. It also taught us to upload digital images, properly resize them and organize them. We learned how to use Google Docs Presentations in order to share our photos with the rest of our classmates during next Tuesday's class.
I thought the presentation program for Google was just as user friendly as Microsoft Powerpoint (not to mention very easy to share with group members and the teacher). I will most likely be using this project in my future art classroom.

Our hunt was based off of Shapes.
For example:

This clock became our Circle!

We had to find twelve different shapes on campus. I have to say, the hexagon was the most challenging.
