Digital+Cameras

Teaching with and using digital cameras in the classroom can be exciting and helpful. I would choose a basic model digital camera especially for young students to use. I would make sure I have plenty of SD cards. It might be wise for each student to have their own SD card that way the photos would not get mixed up. Or better yet I would love for each student to have their own camera. The first thing I would have the students do with the camera is make personalized name tags. The second thing I think kids could do is take a picture of them once a week/month and then write a few things that they have learned and keep a journal. That way they can visually see how they have changed through that year. The third would be for field trips. The fourth would be to incorporate it with science. Take pictures and monitor thier experiments. Fifth would be to make a class wiki page. Sixth would be to take pictures of thier favorite things and make a poster. Seventh to take pictures and involve them in a pen pal program. Eighth would be make a packet to have on hand for substitutes. This would include a card for each student with thier picture on it. Ninth would be to make a yearly scrapbook. Maybe make a collage of each field trip and some daily activities. And last would be to make flashcards or tutorials for the students.
