Teachers often have a hard time teaching students material when they are working with technology. Sometimes teachers need to have students put electronic devices away or shut them down to get them to listen. If teachers incorporate digital cameras into the classroom, they need to have designated times for students to use them.
To teach students how to use digital cameras, teachers have to have basic or advanced knowledge of how to use the devices, depending upon how technical they get with their lessons. They have to know how to use different settings, use the optical and digital zoom features, adjust the lighting settings, upload photos onto a computer and focus a camera to be able to teach students how to use digital cameras. For example, in the fall, students take pictures to reflect different themes color in nature, changing seasons, etc , then create an electronic photo album to keep them.
Print out four favorite pictures and do a writing assignment in the classroom for the teacher. In December have students return to the sites of their season pictures, add these photos to the album, and have the students write about the differences and similarities between them. At the end of the year, create a multi-media project using HyperStudio, PowerPoint or KidPics highlighting favorite entries. Document growth of a classroom plant or pet.
This can be done using PowerPoint or other presentation tool Use digital photo for leaf identification and lab equipment identification.
Take a picture of each lab group. Then print the pictures onto floppy labels with the names of the students, the period and their group number. If you require all the labs to be turned in on disk, this made grading easy and helps the kids keep the disks straight. It's a good idea to give each label a quick and careful coating of clear tape to avoid the inevitable mustaches and horns which otherwise appear on your kids pictures!
Photograph lab setups and details of complicated arrangements. These can be stored for use by students making up labs due to absence. Then sneak around with the digital camera and take a picture of them in their "plots". These photos can be used in a PowerPoint presentation on their year of observations. You can print out a black and white version, laminate and give it to them for their journals.
Some cameras have a video option for recording approximately 10 sec of roughly 16 frames per second stills. These stills can be frozen in print so that sequential actions can be analyzed. Perhaps falling bodies, rolling objects or anything else that can be photographed against a background of a measuring frame of reference. You could loan cheaper cameras to students for a couple of nights and they could take pictures of chemistry or physics in their everyday lives.
They take pictures of candles and air conditioners and airplanes, etc. Then print them out and hang them on the wall in the classroom. Use the digital camera to document independent research projects. Use digital photos to document their comparative anatomy dissections. Students have to have a photo of their organism and their setup. Each group researches and dissects a different specimen. After the dissections, the group then develops a HyperStudio presentation to teach the rest of the class about their specimen.
Journal Writing. Classroom newspapers. Insert student photos in a biographical poem. A great way to start off. Use a photo as a prompt for narrative or descriptive writing. Students take pictures of each other and import them into a word processing document for an "About the Author" page in a student anthology.
Use the digital camera to take photos of students then incorporate the photos into interviews written by other students in the class.
