Digital Scavenger Hunts

I liked doing the scavenger hunt, but I have some concerns.  As I have stated earlier, I will be working with special education elementary students.  I would love to use this with my class, but I feel the scavenger hunt would be limited to the classroom.  I feel this way because I am only one person and cannot watch about 30 young students running in different directions.  So I would have to limit the locations of picture taking to the classroom.  Also I would need a lot of cameras and every school I had been to did not have a lot of cameras for classroom use.   Students who have learned content can then find examples relating to that content.  If I have the resources, I would love to use this kind of activity in my classroom.

Using Images to Enhance Learning

I think images are extremely important. Students learn in different ways, and sometimes pictures is the way for them. Pictures model concepts and ideas when learning. When a student sees something rather than just listening to something, the idea will usually stick. I know that hearing something as well as seeing something is a benefit for me and for many other people. So I will use audio and visual materials to help teach my students. Students will listen to me lecture while looking at images that relate to the topic so that students who learn from images, students who learn from lecturing, or both can comprehend the content.

Picasa Slideshow

Picasa

This seems like a great website.  I use a similar website but the one I usually use allows me to order prints.  I thought the website was extremely easy to use, and I was able to upload pictures quickly.  I love how the pictures can be put into a slide show, and the pictures come out clear.  I would definitely use this site again.  The was a thumbs up site.
