Digital Photography

One of the websites I read on digital photography was the Wacona Elementay School page on using digital cameras in the classroom. It had lots of ideas and lessons. One idea I got while reading was to take pictures of my students (6-8 grades) in each of our READ 180 centers (modeled independent reading, instructional software, whole-group and small group) and post them throughout the year in the room. I am constantly getting new students and it would be a nice reminder and visual of what students in each center SHOULD look like and be doing. Then at the beginning of next year I can use those pictures to create a slide show for open house to show parents and new students what a READ 180 classroom is and looks like.

Need some ideas on how to use Digital Photography in YOUR classroom? Check out this website!
