The first of these two blogs I read was about a little girl named Kaia's learning and bonding experience with her father. http://is.gd/3WSsn Her dad wanted to make sure she spent time outside and appreciated the beauty of things which may not normally be considered beautiful. They both were armed with cameras as they took pictures of the surrounding desert. Kaia's pictures were uploaded onto her blog and she and her father made a photo essay.
The second of the blogs was by her father Jabiz Raisdana. http://is.gd/3WSzD This blog gave some background of their outing from his point-of-view and addressed some concerns he initially had about exposing his daughter's identity to the world via Internet.
Both blogs were wonderfully done and I think it's a beautiful thing to have someone so young realize that there is beauty in everything, even if not noticed at first glance. Jabiz Raisdana is teaching Kaia - aided by technology - some important life lessons.
I want to persuade my future students to use technology to document activities in their lives. I think it's something they will appreciate later and will also be a great learning experience. Photo essays like Kaia did are the perfect idea for what I have in mind.
