Digital+Images

[|Short courses]

I believe that I do know some about digital cameras and how to use them but I also believe that someone can always learn more. For example I did know that Megapixels where needed but I did not realize how much they do not make the photo. And as always it is more important for you to know how to use the camera not just having a great one. As a teacher I would want a camera that had a high speed lens so that it is good for taking for taking moving objects. Also something that would defendant be needed is one that has a good image stabilization. I also learned that it is good to have the camera take regular batters instead of the specialty kind because you cant replace them as easy. I had that experience when taking these photos of having my camera die as I was taking the photos and not being able to replace them and continuing on. What camera I would get would depend on the technology that we have at the time but I would for now look at staying with a Canon or Nikon brand and also look very closely at the reviews. The top things I would look at is durability, speed, and battery’s.

Fun things to do with a camera:

1- End of the year program 2- Class Blog or Website 3- graphics for written reports and presentations 4- e-mail class updates to parents, with attached photos 5- All About Us Book 6- take photos on field trips, to aid in writing about them later 7- make personalized name tags or desk plates 8- Record bulky projects and save or print to student portfolio 9- Take pictures of bulletin boards or room arrangements to remember "next year". 10- Create school rule posters with pictures 11- Before a field trip visit the location and take pictures. Then print sheets with a collection of photos of things for them to find while at the field trip location. 12- Document changes… take pictures of each student each month and then students make a book about how they have grown (use the same setting for each photo to provide perspective) 13- Crop close-up photos of students to show just their eyes and have students match the pictures with their friends. Discuss how we are each unique. 14- Use photos to create a book about school and the workers <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">15- Take photos or videos for a classroom inventory <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">16- Use photographs for a visual schedule <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">17- Collect data <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">18- Make thank you cards <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">19- illustrate a science experiment <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">20- More then anything just have fun and explore the world around them
