The '92/'93 room eight artists created a Portfolio Photo CD. The project was underwritten by Kodak through the UCR/California Museum of Photography. A Portfolio Photo CD allows sounds to be incorporated with photographs on a Photo CD that can be played in your CD ROM player or a Photo CD player connected to your television. The students took pictures of their various experiences with photographs, Photoshop, early motion devices and the opening of their exhibit at the UCR/California Museum of Photography. They then recorded their observations to complete the Photo CD. Over the next several weeks in May we will add some examples from the Photo CD.

Your comments, thoughts, and ponderings are encouraged. Please leave a message for Robert Price, third grade teacher at Hoffer Elementary School.
