The use of Digital Cameras in the Classroom...
I chose this kind of technology because I think that nobody's has explored it yet & I found really interesting things to do with Digital Cameras.
Level: Basic - Intermediate
• First you have to be conscious that kids do not know the value of the object that they are carrying, that is why students must be taught proper handling and safety rules when using the camera. If you do one-on-one training sessions with students to ensure that they understand how to handle the camera you are ready for the next step.
• Student must take appropriate pictures, the ease of using a digital camera allows students to snap many nonsense pictures.
• Privacy is another issue to keep in mind is when publishing photographs you have to have permission of parents & you have to know your school's policies.
• Remember that digital photography isn't just about taking pictures; it's about using the camera as a tool to help explore and understand other subjects!
Activity:
Write a class novel and illustrate it with live-action photos of your students.
Evaluation:
With this activity you can develop their writing skill & creative too, also make it more fun than a plain writing activity, plus interaction is another thing that you can develop with this activity due to the interaction right amount of time maybe can be an issue because children can be very restless.
Autonomy is a skill that with this activity they can reinforce because they have the responsibility of taking care of the digital camera & also of making a good job.
I believe that the 4 skill are develop here because they have to write & read what they are doing, also talk with their classmates and listen the instructions.
It is motivating because thy have the control of the use of digital camera & to create a good story using daily language.
Finally this activity is appropriate for all kinds of personalities because they can develop the topic that they want to do in a comfortable environment with authentic audience & with a clear objetive.....develop creativity in the student in an motivating way.
