Digital+Images

I have seen many advantages in having cameras in the classroom, many teachers are able to take pictures of field trips that they take as well as activities that they do. They are able to post it on a website or on a newsletter to send out to parents so that the parents can see what their children are doing. I have seen teachers made collages out of the pictures and post them in the classroom so that future students can see what they did. Digital cameras seem to be the best way to take pictures because instead of having to take the film out to be developed you can just load it right on to your computer right on class, also if a picture comes out bad, you can just erase it! [|Educational Purposes] In the older classrooms you could use the pictures to tell a story, they could make a whole book out of it using the pictures as well as words to tell the story. In kindergarten classrooms you could write small stories, possibly having them use descriptive words below the picture about what is going on.

I would purchase a fairly inexpensive camera, the camera I currently have was only $100 and works just fine. Possibly one of the quick shoot cameras they are advertising now. Coolpix NIKON

Students love to take pictures, allowing them to use the camera to take pictures of what they see and find interesting around the classroom, or having them take turns taking the camera while on a hike or on a field trip would make them feel special and excited to show everyone what they did. Or even having them take pictures and posting them around the classroom would be a real treat. 1. With science projects 2. To write stories 3. To learn descriptive words using pictures 4. Have them take pictures of different bugs and have them name them 5. Create collages that students can take home at the end of each year. 6. Have them lend a hand in the newsletter, allow them to take pictures and select one to be in the newsletter each month 7. If you are doing a class project, use the camera to take pictures of everyday progress 8. Have a scavenger hunt and see if they can take pictures of everything on the list. 9. You can take pictures of math problems, step by step, and print them out for the student to use at home, kind of like a flash card book. <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">10. Document school trips, they can narrate the whole day, as well as name the different animals they saw, or different flowers.
