This assignment was quite a learning curve for me. I had never used a program like this one before. With help however, I did learn the basics. If third and fourth grade students have had experience with computers I think they would be able to learn this program fairly quickly. They might get into it and learn more than I know about it that's for sure. It could be a creative and interesting way for students to show what they have learned about geometry.
The thing I like most about it is that students are more likely to be engaged in learning geometry than if they just learned it from a math book. Getting out of the classroom and taking pictures of shapes would be very exciting! Then downloading them would make the shapes come to life and give the students hands on experiences so that they could learn the material and have fun in the process.

I agree! I think that this assignment was fun. But it also had me thinking about the geometric terms that we were taking photos of. I think that students would really need to understand the concept in order to find these things in the world around them!
