The photo class integration piece was helpful, too. I'll try the autobiography lesson where students compare themselves from the beginning of the year to the end. What a great way to measure social and intellectual growth! Students can self reflect and set goals for themselves.

Day 6: Multimedia Peripherals
I learned many tips for photographing digital photos from these articles. Capturing natural activities as opposed to poses seems to make more sense. Taking lots of pictures gives you more opportunities to capture the right moment. I especially appreciated the pictures with action and real emotions. Their personalities were captured in a relaxed and natural setting. It was a good idea to vary the position of people in a group photo. It changed the focus from a more uniform look, to a fun photo.

Very interesting idea, especially if you pair that with on-going blogging throughout the school year (that way they have a record of their thoughts and can post pictures through the year).
You know what I really liked from the 1001 ways to use digital cameras? The idea of having students interview one another and then present the information they've learned from one another in an oral report while presenting a picture of the student they interviewed. Although the teacher in this lesson plan is supposed to take the picture in this posted lesson plan, I think it might be a nice variation to have the STUDENTS take the pictures of themselves. The great thing about technology is that it is a great way to get students engaged and actively learning in their classrooms. Shouldn't we give them every opportunity to participate / interact with technology at school? We learn best by doing, as we have seen from this class.
in my kindergarten classroom I take a lot of pictures of my students throughout the year. They love to look at the old pictures of themselves and their classmates. They also cannot believe how looked at the beginning of the year to the end of the year. They think it is very funny.
Being a Kinder teacher as well, I also take many pictures throughout the year and the students also. They love to see their own work captured through their view point. I have the student pair up on the first day of school and they take pictures of themselves and then they take to their partner and then the draw a picture on Kidpix about what they learned about their partner and then share with the class. This is a great way to have the students get to know each other.
