Instructional Ideas:
Elementary
Take pictures of student work, presentations,
or field trips throughout the year and quickly turn them
into a slideshow that you can play at Open House or during
parent conferences.
Middle School
Students can create a historical photo
album by taking pictures of themselves in historical
costumes and settings. Then apply sepia tones or black &
white effects to make them look like old photos and print
them out.
High School
Journalism students can keep all photos for
each edition of their newspaper or magazine in one location
on your classroom PC, adding descriptions and captions
that make them easy to find, re-use, and share.
