Welcome to the workshop. Today, we will be looking at digital imagery in the classroom. We’re starting from the very first step, taking photos from a digital camera, and leading up to doing something creative with the photos for a future classroom project.
The agenda for today will be:
1) Taking photos with a digital camera
2) Importing photos into a computer
3) Saving photos/creating folders
4) Reviewing & editing photos
5) Transform your Digital Photos: Big Huge Labs
6) Brainstorm: How can we use digital photos in our classroom?
