Week 9

Digital Cameras will give a fun and exciting spice to teaching. There are so many creative things that can be done while using a digital camera. My top five favorite ideas include:
1. Have students dress up as what they want to be when they grow up, take pictures of each student, and have them write career reports.
2. Within a few weeks have students take turns taking the camera home. They will take pictures of their favorite things in their home.
3. Take a picture of each student with their family at the open house.
4. Write a class novel with live-action pictures.
5. Take photos on field trips and then write about them.

There are so many way include digital cameras in my curriculum. I will be able to teach specific subjects to my students and have them grasp the ideas more fully through photos. My students will be required to take photos and then write about their photo. By writing about their photo it gives them a better insight into their writing and they can think more specifically.

Digital Cameras a very expensive, and it is important that as I allow my students to use a classroom camera that they are being careful and using the device properly. It is also important that each student has the same opportunity of using the camera. I will need to write out a plan for which days each child will be able to use it.

In all, the use of digital cameras in the classroom will open a door for me. I will be able to teach my students the use of pictures, the ways of uploading pictures on the computer, the way they can treasure their memories, and much more.

There were two videos this week. The mashup video was so fun. I loved watching the video and listening to the incredible sounds that can be created through combining different instruments and tunes. It looks like a lot of work to put together, but what a neat video.
