KAIA

Well first off, What a wonderful assignment!

This was a great assignment! watching Kaia and her Father was amazing. They turned everyday living into something so precious and unique. Dr. Chamberlain's voice thread really added a special/personal touch for Kaia and her Father. Mr. Chamberlain and his class uses video/audio in their post, since little Kaia can't ready very well yet.I really admire the fact that Kaia's father was so willing to learn how to use technology so that Kaia could take pictures. Kaia took beautiful pictures which allowed them to openly communicate and interact with Dr. Chamberlain's class.

Her Father is so inspiring.

Kaia's Father wanted her to explore the world around her, and Kaia took pictures and found beauty in everything she took pictures of, she didn't care of what. This post was really heart felt and touched me! I take for granted all the little things such as a camera. This assignment really made me think about the power of technology and how it really can turn something so small so BIG. And not to take things that we have for granted. This post has encouraged me to do this in my own classroom, it would be a great learning experience for all of my students. But Kaia's Father was right, that learning does extend outside of the classroom walls and technology does make this possible!!!
