The hunt was on, well the scavenger hunt. It took a while to get our process figured out but then the pieces fell into place. We got our first clue and headed outside to find our first victim! Or should I say subject. Our first clue was a “5 picture photo story”. Whether you smoke or not outside the second floor entrance seems to be a big hangout for AIC students, so we looked for an interesting story there. We found a lady who rolled her own cigarettes, so we captured her story and emailed the photos into home base. We then sat around and waited for our next clue, wondering where we were in the race.
Finally our next clue came in and we were in first place. YES! Our next clue was “Rock star”. We all looked at each other; we then looked at Laura’s shirt with the rock star Bob Marley on it. We grabbed a Rock Star drink and photographed Laura holding the drink standing on a flight of stairs. We sent in our photograph and waited again. Back in the home base Sarah was receiving our clues, posting them on Facebook, alerting Jill of our progress, and sending us the next clue. We may have been doing the leg work but she played a big part to our success.
Our next clue was “Farm Animal”. Farm animal??? Yeah, we looked at each other with blank looks. A fellow AIC student was walking by and over heard us, reminded us of the animals down by the DAM. We were off again to capture our next clue of Laura getting eaten by the cow. From there we went on to find a used book store, where John and Frank ended up buying a couple books they had been looking for.
We tried locating our fifth clue there, Anne Lebowitz, but none of their photography books had any thing on her. We then headed for the school library, found our clue, sent it in, and received our last clue. The last clue was a group shot with a Denver ICON in it. So off to the 10th floor we went, where we were able to get the shot with the help of a passing by photography student.
Over all the experience was fun, frustrating, and educational. It was fun because we were out with fellow classmates working together on a common goal. Frustrating because it took a bit to figure out the process and the bigger frustration was that we had to wait for our next clue. Not wanting to move to far from where we were so we didn’t have to back track, we sat in the sun a bit. It was also frustrating because none of us thought to bring water and the whole thing really drained the smart phones.
It was educational because we learned few things. We learned that even though the social media network has a lot of power, there are limitations to what you can do with your smart phones. We learned to make sure we have full charges on our phones and that we have our cable to hook them up to computers to down load our videos. We learned more about how to think on our feet and as a team to achieve the same goal. We also learned that even though Social Media is powerful, it still can not handle everything people can throw at it. At least not yet!
