Digital+Images

Choosing a Digital Camera for your Classroom:
==In this article I learned that more megapixels do not make better pictures. So it doesn't matter if you have 12.0 megapixels or 20.0 megapixels. It is all about the quality of the picture. So megapixels only really matter if you are planning to blow your pictures up to poster size or if you want to crop a small part of your pictures and still have enough information to print them at useful size. Also, most digital camera's today have storage in them, like a SD card ==

Digital Cameras Enhance Education:
==I believe this to be very true. In this article I learned that digital encourages faster learning, more fun and greater creativity with photography. Also current desktop computers today offer great support for digital cameras, so it is easy for you to upload pictures on your computer. Another good thing about having digital cameras in the classroom is that it enhances lesson worksheets, teacher overheads, test items, etc. You can also email attachments to share with the students parents. ==

Class Pictures:
==First of all, make sure you have permission from the parents that it is ok for you to take pictures of their student. You also must have permission from the principal to do this. When you have done all of that, Picasa is a good program to use for your classroom photo's. It is a great and easy way to edit photo's, make collages, and to make folders for your different photo's. Also a good thing that you should do is to print and display the pictures you have taken on bulletin board, create a slideshow, classroom newsletter, end of the year program, or just email them to the parent ==

To have pictures of themselves and their classmates would be great! ==
