 * What happened? (Briefly)
+Once youth returned from clue & photography portion of the gimkana, they were asked to upload their photographs and then to write reflections on each image. I'm afraid that I didn't follow specifically which audience they were expected to address or where they were planning to publish these reflections. I believe the initial location for pictures and reflections was in a Google Doc.
 * What did kids discover or learn?
+The exercise might have helped them understand that it's fairly easy to upload images and insert them into Google Docs, but my sense was that they were already somewhat familiar with this.
 * What should be improved for this activity?
+The intention to have youth feel open and secure making comments about images is a great one, but I don't think that they were comfortable with this level of autonomy within a structured exercise. There seemed to be some resistance to moving from participant to producer/creator. Anything that could encourage the creator motif from the beginning of the exercise would lessen this problem, I think.
+I think it might also be an interesting experiment to ask kids to create clues for other kids based on the images that they'd gathered initially. This could be a sort of reverse-gimkana....or the images could just act as inspiration for a new set of clues.
