Have fun.

The fine print:

Everyone is invited to participate.
Because the purpose of the weekly theme is to get us more familiar with our cameras and to sharpen our photographic skills, entries should be taken during the week of the theme.
Photoshopping is allowed.
To make this thread more manageable to view, please post only your entries in this thread. Post your comments in the accompanying 'comment' thread. (http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44775)
Be creative and have fun!

My old skool, where my formalized edumacation ended! They won't let me mention the name as part of our lawsuit settlement (something about graduating unqualified students) but it is only 2 miles from my house and I haven't been there in years. It was a fun jaunt!

The Pansy School. This building dates back to 1900 although the school existed previously in a wood frame building. The vacant school building, along with the similarly constructed Pansy Methodist Church (1875), is privately owned now and unused but the property appears to be maintained.

Education gone digital:

Teaching the joy of reading.

I teach a lot of courses online. Here's the home page for one of my classes. I'd estimate that I never meet half my students in person - but I get to know them very well over the course of an online semester.

Some things never change - some do :). My mother, bless her, kept all my old school reports - going back to the tender age of 7. I was good at exams in those days (that bit got worse as time went on) but every one uses the word untidy - often more than once :D. My wife is very fond of reminding me that my early teachers were absolutely correct ;)

Grandma and our new grandson 'Andy' reading and surfing the internet, at 7 months old he has a long ways to go.

The 365 Blog has been a real education for me.

I think I'll wait to catch the next one.

I wanted to get a shot of the Seeing Eye school in Morristown. Unfortunately, it's very private and I was only able to take one from the road, along with a statue commemorating the founder and his guide dog in the center of town. But, maybe, someday I'll get a picture of my pup as she walks in harness through town learning how to be a guide dog.

It's education - though not run of the mill. :)

Thanks for the challenge.

While Tony has one of his, it seems as though I have all 12 of my report cards. My very favourite is the blue one - Grade 2 - Miss Finlay. Her first name was Helen - I loved her!

Incredibly, I met her years later at the Winnipeg Airport where she was a volunteer greeter. She curled in the same group as my mother. Small world!

Cheers,

The grandies had a 'sleepover' with us last night, and Tiana was very interested in learning about the 'music box' as she calls it. They were soooo cute to watch.

Not what I had planned for this theme, but time has run out for me to do that, so here is an improvisation.

With a tighter shot you could see this sail boat better but I like the reflections. It's belongs to this organization (http://www.soundexp.org/).
