- 2. Digital Camera’s in the classroom Since the early 1990’s digital cameras have been working their way into the classrooms. School yearbooks and newspapers were quick to embrace this new technology and programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, PageMaker, and Quark paved the way for school student publications to go digital.
- 3. Digital Cameras In other classrooms such as English and Social studies the digital camera allows students to take pictures and place them into PowerPoint demonstrations, portfolios, personal narratives. In CTE classrooms the digital Camera is used into monitoring a construction project, used in graphic arts as well making the job of club historian a lot easier.
- 4. Digital Cameras Digital cameras also allow the student to become their own movie producer. With YouTube and Smart Boards Students may link video clips from school digital cameras or educational items found from other sources to use. This tool allows students to cut clips, arrange items into sequence, add title captions etc. into presentation. Students can use these tools to complete projects, also use the social network to promote their own school.
- 5. Notebooks: not just paper anymore The notebook places a major role in my school’s classrooms. We have several carts loaded with a classroom set of (32) notebooks. These carts may be checked out by any teacher as long as there is a detailed lesson plan attached to the request. These laptops allow students to work on a myriad of projects from PowerPoint presentations, research projects, Essay writing, and taking online classes/tutoring such as Kahn Academy.
- 6. Notebook Computers The notebook computer when used for PowerPoint demonstrations allows students to include maps, digital photography, lists, and notes into one interactive program. From a teaching perspective within the slideshow presentation for a class, there are a variety of mediums present to address a myriad of learning styles for students.
- 7. Putting the two together While covering Romeo and Juliet, an English teacher used this same presentation style to identify the characters using pictures from the movies. In another class he presented a show to tour the Globe theatre, then Shakespeare’s life, then one on Elizabethan England. This YouTube video was then used to tour the theatre. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVmOric9nUo
- 8. Putting the two together A student set up a slide demonstrating his bull riding.
- 9. Supporting the effort Having students use their own cell phone cameras, their own personal digital cameras can allow them to be as creative as they wish. Proper instruction on the legal uses of these cameras and setting parameters is important. Then allowing the schools technology department allow access to YouTube and blog sites can help expand the educational uses for these mediums.
