SNAP - School Network for Art & Photography

In Photography, I have been encouraging students to share their photos on Flickr as part of an international network of students called SNAP - Schools Network for Art & Photography, which has been created specifically for students of art and photography at secondary level (11-18) but not exclusively, to showcase their work. Please promote amongst fellow flickr members.

I believe that a large part of helping students to develop their creativity is by encouraging them to share and learn from each other. By providing a platform for discussion or showcasing their work, they are far more motivated to create. The Head has recently been talking about 'Display for Learning' and it would be good if the responsibility for updating and managing areas around the school was delegated to students, possibly via tutor groups rather than just departments. In the sixth form block, I have put up individual frames for students to update with their work and they appear to like "owning a space".
