During the course of the project the students were to become familiar with digital media as a means of personal expression and communication. Photos could be recorded, printed, edited and when needed also immediately deleted again.
Astonishingly some of the students were more used to working with the computer than with the camera. Thus they could quickly orient themselves on the display surface, open programs and look at their photo. Even those who were not well versed in computers learnt how they had to „click through“ the menu structure. In doing so there were amusing moments of confusion with the English language:

Teacher: Here is „close“.
Student: Who is Klaus? I don’t know him.

In the course of the project a new colour printer was also acquired, which was connected and set-up by the students themselves (with guidance). This demonstrated that the „doing-it-yourself“ meant a great deal. Here, they had the possibility to operate expensive technology and develop a sense of, let’s call it responsibility for it. Afterall, holding a camera in your hand is surely different than holding a coloured pencil.
