Read the experience of a teacher in Morocco and what Create your Space could bring to your class:
"The grid the NGL has sent us enables us all to see where we live in a different way. We enjoyed doing the project together and it was that real project that our students needed. Self-confidence and self-esteem were boosted during the activity through learning how to shoot and how to concentrate while taking photos. I have noticed that even with a cell phone camera, my students started to see and feel the benefits of photography and the beauty of their surroundings. I had a little workshop with my students to explain the grid and what they were supposed to do and they quickly started showing me all the pictures they have taken of the beach, the forest, and all the places that they go to in Kenitra. I am so happy with what National Geographic Learning is doing for kids, adults and professionals around the world and I am sure that kind of collaboration will be a great boost for those who want to invest their knowledge and skills."
