More Digital Camera stuff

This week we had to decide 5 ways that we can use digital cameras in our classroom. Here are the 5 ways that I would like to use digital cameras in my classroom.

1. Take pictures of students to put on my seating chart this way I can put the name with the face, and it will help me to learn their names easier.

2. Use pictures on the job chart this way children can see their picture and know that is is their turn to do the job.

3. Take pictures of children showing good behavior, then bring out the picture often to remind them about using good behavior.

4. Take pictures of parties, field trips or activities that we are having in the classroom, post them on a blog so that parents can see what we are doing in the classroom.

5. Take pictures of children to use with an art project, for example making a christmas ornament with their pictures.

These five things are ideas that one day I would like to incorporate into my classroom.

This week in class we used the pictures that we took in groups to make a slideshow presentation using them. Ours was about being safe. This was a lot of fun to do, it is a great learning tool to use in the classroom to keep children safe. I have really enjoyed using digital cameras and I think it is so important to use them in a classroom. It has been fun to learn many different ways that I can use digiatal cameras like taking pictures of the things that we are learning in the classroom, fieldtrips, pictures to make books, making cards and many different things. I am excited to one day do these things in my classroom.
