Digital Photography in the classroom

I love pictures! I want to use all kinds of pictures in my classroom. I will have students take pictures for our class blog and for assignments dealing with shapes and numbers. I could have them find different objects at home that go along with our classroom theme for the week or month or whatever it may be.

I am reviewing for Kindergarten students. I really enjoyed the Whyville game. It was my favorite by far. It kept me entertained...it is a game that could be used in almost all of the utah state core curriculum. The only problem is that the students who dont know how to read real well would need an adult or a peer to help them. But i really liked the different games like sorting food and learning about a healthy diet and moncola. this particular game has math and reading and anti bias attributes that make it very developmentally appropriate. It would be neat to the students to interact with their classmates at home out side of the classroom/school setting.
