Digital+Camera

Digital Camera


 * 1. While reading and looking over the seven articles we were assigned to look at I learned a few new things. A lot of it that I read I knew about already but it is always a great reminder! I never knew that it doesn’t matter how many megapixels you have on the camera but it just depends on your purpose. I always though the more megapixels the better the picture, but that is not the case, you only need more megapixels if you are going to use the pictures to make them bigger. It was also a great reminder to see the many different ways people have used digital cameras in the classroom to enhance learning. Also a review of good ways to use the camera when considering background and placement was a very good reminder also. The rule of thirds is very important in making your pictures easy to look at! Also one of the websites had great advice to take lots of pictures and organize them on your computer. You can always delete pictures but you cannot create a picture that you missed the opportunity to snap! **


 *  2. The perfect camera I would use for my classroom would be a semi inexpensive simple point and shoot camera with relatively higher megapixels. Probably a sony like the one I have now. I really like how easy it is to understand the settings and fast it takes pictures and videos. It is also easy for children to understand and durable so I won't be scared of it breaking every time I or my students use it. **

**3. What students will be doing with the digital camera:**

 * **Lesson on nature, I would have the students go take pictures of nature and create a project out of it.**
 * **We will t for school activities, making sure we have some one take a lot of pictures so we can remember.**
 * **I will create a project starting day one, where we take a picture every day and put it on a calender so we can look back at the things we did throughout the year.**
 * **I will use it for presentation projects that i will have the students do.**
 * **Sometimes it is just fun to have a camera and take pictures of random funny things. We will do that for sure.**
 * **We will use the camera for science lessons when talking about the body. I'd have the students take pictures of parts of the body and we'd print it off and we would have to label where all the major parts are.**
 * **We will use it for showing parents what we are working on in class.**
 * **We will use it for learning how to edit pictures and how to use contrast.**
 * **We will use it for art lessons by taking pictures of objects and discovering what is art, and what makes it what it is.**
 * **We will also use the camera for making sure all students are included. We will take pictures of eveyone and create class games that involve everyone so no one is ever left out.**
