Lesson Plan:
Through making a scanograph of a natural material, using a scanner with a laptop in the park, children will learn that nature has intricate details that can come to view when looked at in a different way.

By using a scanner, which is essentially a set focus camera with a huge lens? children can deeper appreciate nature using new media technology by scanning leaves, flowers, earth, stone, mud, insects feathers, etc...  As we move more toward new technologies, we should perhaps use them to further appreciate nature so both the electronic, digital realm can inform the physical world and vice versa
