Making this poster was a really fun project. I was challenged to look through my collection of pictures and find ones that were really indicative of where we live. In Kodiak we are surrounded by water. We smell, taste and hear it every day. That's why I chose so many pictures of the ocean and beaches.
I was intrigued by the idea of using this in the classroom. I could see how a teacher would be able to let his/her students use this as a way to communicate to communities outside their own classroom. This would be a great way for students to show a "pen pal classroom" pictures of where they live. It could also be used to document fun classroom events and make posters for parents to see what their child's classroom did each week and or month. Thanks Skip for introducing us to such a neat tool.

I think your poster does an excellent job of conveying a sense of place regarding Kodiak, especially your thematic emphasis on water. As you mentioned, using a tool like this would be an excellent way to convey this sense to pen pals in another location. How cool would it be to have posters from your pen pals on your classroom walls?
