Why curation of photo sets?
Why curation of photo sets?
When students are asked to sift through photos in order to identify images that are related to a topic, they are practicing...
critical thinking because they are examining each photo or image to determine context and relevance.
creativity in that they may select photos or images that are not direct depictions but are instead metaphors or symbolic representations.
Developing a system for naming, storing, and organizing the images gives students the opportunity to exercise their problem-solving skills. This project can be done completely digitally or by using traditional physical media.
Students could work collaboratively on adding to the collection and organizing it.
You might assign photo curation when...
you want students to demonstrate their understanding of a concept or event.
you want students to share their learning visually with others.
you want students to practice research skills in locating relevant images.
you want to enhance or replace an assignment that asks students to describe or explain something.
