Well, Color Me Happy

My students need a digital camera with printer and photo paper to create masterpieces about themselves.

In a low income community, I teach middle school special needs students. Their disabilities range from MD (multiple disabilities) to CD (cognitive disabilities). My students are fascinated with technology and my school and students' families do not have the funds to provide them with such tools. To begin the new school year, I would like my students to use a digital camera to document who they are. They will then print the pictures and make a coat of arms to introduce themselves to their new classmates. They will also be asked to write sentences to go along with the visual images. In this lesson, students will learn how to use a digital camera, how to print pictures, interaction with peers and most importantly how to express themselves creatively. This will be an integrated lesson among technology, social studies and English. The lesson will help students understand the middle ages (coat of arms, technology (taking pictures and printing) and English (putting their thoughts into words). These materials can also be used for future projects like: collecting data for life cycles in science, documenting different geometric shapes around town in math and so many more. Most students have never used a digital camera and were fascinated with seeing themselves in the photo screen. After getting his picture taken with his prized student award and seeing it on the picture screen, one of my autistic students said, "Well, color me happy! I'm a handsome one!". The electricity in his eyes jolted my heart. I want to see that same excitement in all of my students' eyes. I am asking for funding to purchase a digital camera with printing dock, SD memory card and photo paper to make this project come to life.
