In one of the lectures during the ECI 831 course, Alec mentioned the 365 Project. I had heard of the project and have always wanted to do something similar in my classroom. I didn’t know much about the actual project, but have seen examples. I did some research and I think it would be a great project for my classroom. There is a lot of potential in the classroom, displaying student work, special events, celebrating accomplishments, etc. I plan to discuss it with my students to see if it is a project they would like to participate in, and if so, start after the Christmas break.
I took my exploring one step further; I found a project called 1 Second Everyday. Everyday you take a short video on the Iphone or Ipad with the 1 Second Everyday app. At your convenience, edit the video to 1 second. The app will automatically label the video with a date and at the end of the year, it will put together all the 1 second clips into a video capturing the year. I like the 1 Second Everyday project because voices, laughter, sounds, can be captured along with the expressions. Using this app captures audio which goes one step further than the 365 project. Below is a video that captures the first year of a baby’s life and was created using the 1 Second Everyday app. My husband and I are planning to have a family; someday I would love to use this app to capture similar moments in our children’s lives.
I would appreciate hearing your experiences or viewing your creations if you have participated in the 365 Project or used the 1 Second Everyday app.

This is pretty cool. I knew of one-second projects like this, but didn’t realize there was an app for this. I love the idea – over a year, you could develop a wonderful artefact. Thanks for sharing.
I pretty like this idea! Although it’s a great pity that I didn’t know it before my daughter’s birth, it’s not too late to start this 1 second everyday project from now on as she is only 28 days:) Thank you so much for sharing this application!
