Day 6: !001 Educational Uses for a Digital Camera
I don't think you can ever get too many creative ideas for using technology. I especially like the idea of a scavenger hunt. In teaching 12th grade, I will use this application to assess their understanding of more abstract concepts by allowing them to determine the subjects that they photograph to fit the concept. I would have them write up their rationale and than require them to evaluate the other photographs. Also, as a review of famous people, I can imagine taking pictures of various objects associated with them and allowing the students to guess the "owner" of the objects. A modification would be to match the item with a list of people.

Possibly having them develop a rubic of what should be included in the photograph would be helpful before they start out to take the photos.
I think it is a really good idea to have students take photographs and then write up a rationale. They could even develop a story around their pictures, :)
