Going beyond the gallery walk<\/h1>\n

\"community<\/a>Exhibition season is upon us!<\/p>\n

And as you’re making ready to throw open the doors of your school and welcome in the community, let’s look at a handful of ways to jazz up any school event: by planning your capturing in advance, making interactive takeaways, going off-campus(!) or setting up a digital guestbook.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Plan your capturing in advance<\/h2>\n

Exhibitions get busy quickly. They’re basically huge parties for your school, a time for students to show off their learning and for families to be completely amazed by their scholars. You might be thinking you’d like to get some video of the event. There are ways to simplify this process!<\/p>\n

Ask families to participate<\/h3>\n

Everrrrrrrybody’s bringing their camera-enabled smartphone to this shindig, so put out a notice in the newsletter, on social media, wherever your families congregate, asking if families would be willing to share video or photos from the event afterwards. Print it on the programs. Send out a reminder after the fact. See what you get!<\/p>\n

Throw up a photo booth<\/h3>\n

Build in a photo opportunity to create mementoes and ease social anxiety at large events!<\/p>\n

Put up some unmanned vehicles<\/h3>\n

Set up a standalone camera and just let it ride. You’ll be amazed what you come away with.<\/p>\n

For the below video at Flood Brook School, in Londonderry VT, we set up two iPads on tripods, each in a corner of the gym, and one 360-degree camera right in the middle of the action. Hit record. Then we ignored them and went and talked with students. No one tripped over them and we got some amazing footage to share!<\/p>\n
