Week 7

Learning about Digital Cameras

This week we talked about using digital cameras in a class. Along with computers cameras can be a very helpful tool with many lessons.

What Cameras Mean to me

I don't think I have ever used a camera for any of my classes, but I love using them. Cameras can document your many adventures. They can hold a lot of pictures at one time and are far better than the disposable cameras. With digital cameras you can put a memory card in and when it's full put another one in. So you are always using the same camera many times. Another thing that is great about digital cameras is that you can to do anything you want to your pictures with just a click a few buttons.

I always have my camera with me. When I am with my friends we take tons of pictures and I'm glad that we do. I can look back at them in years to come and remember what we did that day.

Future Uses

I'm not sure how I will get enough cameras to use in a class, but I think that I could use them in many way. I know that I will want tons of pictures of my classes. Along with my personal wants I can use them to take pictures that can be used in the classroom. So things that I would want to use them for are like taking pictures of the seasons, field trips, and taking pictures for art related projects.

As for using them with colleagues, I could use pictures for slide shows of things I do in my class. I can share with my colleagues my ideas in a clear way, so that they can see how they would do it. Cameras have great uses and can be great for a class room and teacher.

Videos

I am so impressed by the mash up, I could not ever create anything like that. The way they collaborated all the videos is crazy. They would have to be super dedicated and creative to create the music that they did. It shows that you can do all sorts of creative things with technology.

The top ten video was very informative. I really liked it! I never thought about half the things they talked about. It's nice to get tips from teachers that you couldn't get any where else. I know that these kinds of tips are the ones that really make a difference.
