A Superior Picture Says 1,000 Words

My students need a technology boost incorporated in our writing, but also that can build community! We need 6 cameras and 24 digital jump drives to save and record learning.

My Students

SAVE our LEARNING! In this digital age, we want to save our documents, create records of learning, and build community. We want to learn about the world around us, reflect on our learning, and share ideas through pictures.

We are a high poverty rural school that are 21st Century visual learners!

Our kids are desiring to try technology and many families surveyed don't have digital cameras. We see the beauty around us and in ourselves, and we want to document our growth in 4th grade.

My Project

Students will use digital images as a springboard for their descriptive, narrative, technical and persuasive writing in all content areas across the curriculum. We will take pictures of every day things, people, activities, and events and share them with others in real-life applications such as the school paper, classroom website, and in an e-folio. Students need the jump drives to save images and keep an e-folio reflection of their journey! They will be exposed to all the tech skills of photography along the way, as well as individual digital citizenship, writing, and on-line safety.

All students need to write and make connections with the world around them, themselves and literature.

This donation will move our students along a continuum in the technology skills area, but will also motivate and engage them as they explore digital pictures and reflect on learning! Purchasing cameras and jump drives will not only benefit this upcoming year's class, but future classes! Who knows? Perhaps there will be a photographer or journalist born from this project!
