Wow!!! There are tons of ways to use this simple technique in the classroom. It is very easy and fun to work with, but I as a teacher need to realize that there is a responsibility on the children's part of working with a camera. I need to be able to have the patience to work with them and to teach them how to use a camera the correct way and how to have fun with it as well. The digital camera can be used in many different ways. 10 different ways that I see a digital camera can be integrated in the classroom are:
1. posting student's works and allowing the parents to see what and how their child is doing.
2. upload the images taken by the students on my own personal computer for keepsakes.
3. take virtual field trips or tours of the community.
4. send pictures of the students to their family that is with them as well as far away from them.
5. use pictures they take for headers and clip art for the weekly newsletter.
6. use pictures for labels for different things around the room.
7. use their pictures for an open house slide show.
8. let the children take pictures on filed trips and display them on the bulletin board.
9. write a story book for them and use live action pictures to illustrate.
10. make picture frames for special occasions and allow the children to take pictures of the other students by using the camera correctly.
