1. Would love to use pictures taken of my students during their school day to make a "talking album" for the parents to see what their day is like.

2. Taking a video of my students able to perform a procedure or behavior to help another student learn that procedure or behavior.

3. Love to see how excited my students get when they see themselves on a video of a field trip. Will try to use this technique with helping my 8th grade students transition to the high school.

4. I will be getting more advanced students next year. Having them take pictures of our life skills safety unit in the kitchen. They could take safe and unsafe methods and things in the kitchen and the other students could guess which one is correct and which one is wrong.

Digital images that I would like to incorporate into my classroom include:
1. use Photo Shop to show facial symmetry
2. write an autobiography which includes digital pictures
3. create a trading card with biographical information about a famous person
4. create word walls with pictures

Using Photo Shop to show facial symmetry would be fun for the kids to incorporate technology into a math lesson. I would also like to include digital images in language arts by having students include pictures in an autobiography they write or create trading cards with biographical information about a famous person. Lastly, I would like to include some pictures on my social studies word wall words.

Hi!

I already have so many new ideas on how to use digital photography in my classroom:

1. Since we have a new science unit on life cycles, I will take pictures of the life cycles

of the mealworm, the milkweed bug, and the butterfly and then created my own posters and videos on the smartboard.

2. I want to take pictures of my students this year showing the classroom, playground,

and lunchroom rules to show my students next year at the beginning of the school year.

3. Symmetry is a concept we do in our math curriculum and I like the idea of students taking a picture of another student and then they cut it in half and cut and paste the 1st half on the side of the face.

4. Taking real picture of roads and railroad tracks to show examples of parallel lines

and perpendicular lines.

5. Doing career reports of what students want to be when they grow up as they

dress up as their profession.

It was really cool to see all of the different ways to use images. I got a ton of ideas because I am going to be teaching a new 2D Design class, and we use Photography in both 7th and 8th grades.

The 3 Main Ideas I want explore are:

1. Teaching the difference between an 'Icon' and a 'Logo'

2. I love the idea of visual vocabulary and giving images for our art terms

3. Classroom Overveiw- photos of the projects/units of the class

Kritzer/Reflection1

As an art educator in our district I have to be really organized when I teach 30 classes in a week. Some times it's the small things that help keep me sane and my class ready to go.

1. Post a digital image of what an organized art supply bin should look like.

2. Images of how to clean a paintbrush and the correct way to put it in the bin.

3. Project idea- Emotion & Color - Have students take digital images of each other (showing emotion) and alter the color in Photoshop.

4. Connect images with word wall.

5. Step by step origami.

• Because I am teaching 5th and 6th grade SS next Fall, my team and I are going to create a "Welcome to our Team" presentation for the students/parents on "Meet da Teacher" night
• I want to do a Latin American digital picture project where the students will write a report about a certain picture, with also stating copy right rules. (6th grade)
• I want to do an Early American project that involves students finding internet pictures from early civilizations and write about them. I would like to do this for each section then combine the pictures to a power point that would be a timeline for each student. (5th grade)

The following are some ideas from Chad that can be used in the music classroom:

• classroom rules/safety - beginning of year music room/instrument rules
• introduce yourself to class - teacher or student music biography
• field trips - photos of trip for visuals to jog memories, document
• photos that demonstrate a concept or music term
• document growth/changes in students music performance skills
• career reports - photographs of students dressed up, or found examples online
• photo books of examples of class concepts
• Illustrate lyrics of songs
• illustrate steps and procedures - how to play a music piece
• student portfolios - compositions, lyrics slide shows
• create flash cards of composers or musical compositions, favorite artists
• write illustrated music autobiography
• create a composer “trading card” with students filling in important information
• create an advertisement for an event, concert, CD cover, concert poster for Jazz/classical
• iPhoto powerpoint of multicultural music
