But today the kids have a whole new media to create with and communicate through. I'm trying to meet them in their world using their language so they can be comfortable and have some fun. https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/558927852 2020-05-08 02:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/558927852 Digital Photography Tonya Fails https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/561435726 Using Digital photography will allow students to take something from their world outside and bring it into the classroom. Students love taking "selfies"and pictures now they can put them into their own work. ]]> 2020-05-09 13:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/561435726 Digital Photography. Craig Christiansen https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/566156857 I would use digital photography as a way for my students to explore different careers.  By exploring the local area and photographing people performing different work duties.  It could be something like a career scavenger hunt.]]> 2020-05-11 22:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/566156857 Digital Photography https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/566380146 Marcy Certonio
When I think of my students or my own children, I think of the constant visual stimulation from advertisements, social media, television, and smart phones.Therefore, imagery is super important in our classroom to keep these 21st Century students engaged. ]]> 2020-05-12 01:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/566380146 Why Digiutal Photography in the Classroom... https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/573333971 Digital photography can be used in the classroom in many ways. One way would be to bring in pictures of new items that students may not know what they are. Another is to get the students to have ownership of their work by attaching an image top something. Students love the "selfie" so why not use it!]]> 2020-05-14 17:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/573333971 A picture paints a thousand words... https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/575155977 Anderson: Telling students how to hold their instrument and how look when they perform makes me feel like a "Charlie Brown" teacher ("Blah blah blah). Showing them with pictures (especially pictures of themselves doing it right) is much more engaging for them. ]]> 2020-05-15 14:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/575155977 Great resource. https://padlet.com/sedcclint/7f8snvz48kgnezrb/wish/600169810 Pictures speak for themselves.
If they take  the picture great and if they are in the picture even better.
It´s like starting from a personal experience. It´s highly motivating, they feel part of the process.
