Using your Digital Camera - Open Space
Rachel Smith

We took short movies with our digital cameras, then made a sample video in iMovie using video, images, music, and voiceover.
We also reviewed how to clean up a photo of a chart/mural in Photoshop, and how to save it in a format that could be used in a PDF summary.

Kinesthetic Modeling
John Ward & 15 participants

Using Kinesthetic Modeling, two groups modeled the same vexing challenge, the abusive use of cellphones. We first told stories based on the imagery we saw. Then, we moved toward understanding the meaning and significance embodied in the model. Email John Ward regarding the process.
