Technology articles #2

Digital cameras can be used in the classroom for many projects and assignments. A few that is listed in the article mention having an orientation on the cameras for the students so that they have an understanding of the proper use of the camera for school. Students of all ages can use a digital camera in their learning. It is a great way for students to explore new things and add it to their projects in the classroom. Digital cameras are one of the easier technologies to have in the classroom and can be very beneficial to teachers. While I was in field I used my camera to create a power point of various walls in Utah County that went along with a lesson. Digital cameras can be used for the students to use as well. I think that digital cameras would be one of the more beneficial tools to have in the classroom.
The easiest way to get going with the cameras is to just play around with them. Use them for pictures to post in the classroom or at parent teacher conference or with permission from parents to post and share with others. I think that digital camera bring a new way of learning something to our students. Through the lens they can explore a whole new world of technologies available to them to learn and be able to have it integrated in to the classroom.
