… or at least admire enough to make a lens about?
Week 4 at Giant Squid Summer School has the Giants creating Acknowledgement lenses.
Similar to what an author does when they dedicate their book, an Acknowledgement lens is a neat way to pay tribute to the people who have helped you on your way.

Summer School Lenses are HOT

I offered to be the caretaker of the Giant Squid Summer School Assignment lenses because I was expecting huge things from our Giant Squid Lensmasters and I selfishly wanted to be the first one to see their assignment lenses. I have to say that I haven’t been let down at all! All of the participating RocketMoms are doing a great job of keeping up as well!
The assignment for last week was to create a lens about your most prized possession. As of this posting I’ve read through 48 lenses, each one just as interesting and entertaining as the last. We’ve gotten a nice mix of serious and sentimental, cute and comedic, and even enticingly educational.
It’s fun to witness the way a single assignment can be interpreted in so many awesome creative ways!
If you’ve got a little time to spare, you’d do well to stop by the Summer School Week #2 Assignment Lens HERE and visit the creative works of the Giant Squid Summer School Class of 2009.
