 | Re: More Ideas for using Digital Cameras in the Classroom |

Good Afternoon! Anne Williams from Weagamow has contacted me with some really great ideas that she is using with her students I thought I would share them! 1.) "What Matters to Me." Students made a plan ahead of time answering nine questions about what is important to them. For example, who are your favourite people, what's your favourite food, what do you like to do alone outside of school, etc. Then they took their cameras home overnight and took photos to answer the questions. They took their plans home so they would know what to take photographs of. When they returned they downloaded and printed the photos, cropped the photos, wrote captions and made a paper presentation that went up in the hall.
2.) A giant collage on huge letters that spell out 'waachiiye' in Oji-Cree. (Means 'welcome, a friendly greeting.) This is the second time I have tried this project. My students last school year made one in the spring when I first received the cameras and that one is displayed in the local band office reception area.
3.) The students also made 'photo portraits'. They took photos of each other from different angles and then used a 'photo-montage technique' I saw in an Artist's Workshop book from Crabtree Publishing Thanks so much to Anne Williams for contributing some fantastic ideas! |
