Digital+Images

1. Basically by reading these you learn how to utilize the options of a digital camera in the classroom (like the 10 ideas below) Make sure to use the flash, different settings for inside and outside pictures. Use options that will be easy for the kids to use without a lot of coordination. Cameras are a really fun way to help students record things that happen everyday in their classroom. The pictures are easy to access for future reference as well.

2. I would buy a Canon camera for my classroom. I have both a Canon and Nikon camera already and I feel like Canon is simple yet complex. They are easy to figure out so my students could use the camera without messing something up. The Canon also takes really good pictures.

3.Almost every kid has or has used a digital camera. They are using them at home all the time. By using them in the classroom they are able to practice and remember things they have learned in their classroom. __10 IDEAS FOR THE CLASSROOM:__ 1.Introduction to classmates 2.Putting up pictures on my class website 3.Class Newspaper/Newsletter 4.Email class updates to Parents 5.Make personalized name tags 6.Have students find certain shapes and take pictures 7.Document classroom tasks (Growing plants) 8.Take photos of field trips 9.Introduce myself to students 10.Make a year book with pictures throughout the year
