Learning activity using texting

Ask students to identify and photograph or video 3 examples of architecture from a specified period using their mobile phones.

They should also provide a comment in 160 character text message per example justifying why this is a good example of the chosen architectural example.

All contributions will be posted to a central blog allowing students to peer review, comment and rate each contribution.

The best 3 examples chosen by the students could then form a platform for further discussion in a seminar or lecture.
