My So-called Digital Life by Bob Pletka
A photo essay stemming from a unique project organised by a Californian schoolteacher. 2000 students from across the state were given digital cameras and a time limit of one month to document, in pictures and words, their day-to-day experiences. The students were able to communicate with each other on the Internet, sharing text, audio, photos and video. They were accompanied and advised by professional photographers, teachers, historians and community leaders but the images, thoughts, fears and hopes are theirs alone.
Bob Pletka is the Director of Technology at Covina-Valley Unified School District in Southern California. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Educational Technology from the University of California, Irvine.
