Digital+Camera

1. I learned how to plan ahead before taking pictures. Asking where the setting will be and how you will store the pictures is important to think about. I also learning that using digital cameras in the classroom will promote visual literacy. [|This website] had a great picture of some beatles which would be effective to use during a science lecture. 2. I would purchase the Cannon Power Shot SD7E because it is fairly easy to use. It would be easy for the students to operate and the camera has automatic settings. 3. Students are using digital cameras for multiple reasons. I would use a digital camera in my classroom to take pictures of each students and memorize their names. I would also make them personalized name tags. I could plan a lesson where the students take pictures all about them. That would be a great getting to know you activity! Having digital cameras to take videos and document the work being done in the classroom would be fun to have when parent-teacher conferences roll around. A digital camera is a fun way to document the growth of a plant or bacteria. A camera could also document the development of weather over time as well. Taking pictures of a major class project and hanging them in the hallway is another way digital cameras can be implemented in education. With new technology pen pals can now be contacted through email and attaching pictures of the student would be beneficial. Digital photo can be used as a writing prompt. At the end of the year it would be fun to have a slideshow of everything the student's accomplished in the school year. media type="custom" key="10936164"
