Create assignments with pictures to illustrate actual items and processes that are used in the class. Digital photos are useful for showing missed information to absent students, or e-mailing them images from the classes missed. Examples of classroom applications of digital imaging are photographing measurements, instruments, sports equipment or positions, recipe ingredients, pictures for vocabulary or reading lessons. Supplement work sheets with pictures specific to the course. Customize displays and bulletin boards with photos from school, lab, classroom, or student performances.
Students can create presentations using their own recorded images.
Classes can include pictures in their correspondence with donors, volunteers, business partners, guests, and parents. In assessing learning, digital photography is effective in both traditional test construction and in production of alternative assessments. Include students' photos and images of their 3D and performance work in portfolios. The pictures allow documentation of a greater variety of work than would otherwise be included in a portfolio. Create more authentic evaluations including images of items or processes from actual class experience.
