Week 7

Can I just tell you - I'm so excited about this upcoming assignment! I love photography. My family and I just love to take pictures. And I don't know why, but I've never thought of using a camera in the classroom, but it seems a natural thing. I know how my own children love using the camera and the pictures they take are amazing - sometimes. Our teacher shared with us about how she used a camera and had the students find and take pictures of shapes in everyday objects. How fun would that be for kids! And especially to get them observing and seeing that shapes actually are a part of our lives. I've already thought of ways I could use the camera in subjects like earth science, geography, and math. I haven't made it through all the reading yet, but I'm excited to read through more materials for more ideas.

  1. A camera is not often thought as a technology, but it is a relatively inexpensive way to really engage your students in some great projects.
