Award Winning Digital Photography Projects (teacher's edition with CD)

Now that your school has some digital cameras, how are you going to integrate their use into the curriculum?

Product Information 

Student workbook in front, teacher's lesson plans at back of book. Step-by-step instructions for doing great things with your pictures. Here are 64 award winning ideas and projects for using digital photography and digital imaging in the classroom. Some of these are productivity ideas; others are curriculum based projects. None of the projects described here require expensive camera equipment or difficult techniques. Each project includes a student worksheet written for students to use. There are tips on how to take better pictures in a chapter after the worksheets. The last chapter includes tips on how to import your pictures into the computer and how to insert them into various programs, such as PowerPoint, iMovie, or a Web page. The step-by-step instructions will work with a variety of software, but we have focused on instructions for using Adobe Photoshop Elements. You learn from doing these projects in two ways. First you learn about the subject from the content of the finished project… for example, you learn geography by doing a project involving taking pictures of weather patterns. But you also learn about the subject in the creating of the project… in other words; it’s just as much about the process as the product.

In this book, Dr. Abrams lays out 64 lesson plans he has developed for using digital cameras and digital imaging (including scanners, printers and software) with students and faculty.

The projects cover a wide range of curriculum areas and grade levels. For each project, one side of the page is a worksheet for students to follow and the other side contains a lessong plan for the teacher to manage the project.
