What can you do with a mobile phone and creativity?

This is what Jason van Genderen did:

The 3 minute film cost $57 to make, was shot in New York and Sydney, and won first place at the New York Tropfest. Tropfest is the largest short film festival in the world, with the aim of bringing exposure to talented, young filmmakers from around New York and the world.

Can you imagine the fun and creativity for students with such a project?

  1. Simply stunning Tania. How powerful. I must find a way to use this in a class this term. Like you say, what a creative project that Im sure our students would find enriching. Show them this, then let them loose in the city for a day with a camera, or like Jason, their digital phone.
    Your blog is fantastic. You write extremely well and source great stuff! Really enjoying it each time I visit.

  2. very powerful…. I love using phones with the kids…. they are not permitted at school, except for directed use…. hehehe so they love when I set them a phone photo task. It gets them really engaged in the task. We are doing 5 photo stories at the moment. They have even been posting some to our class moblog. they love finding out new ways to use their phones.
    Now I have some more ideas… thanks so much for sharing this 🙂
    cheers
