What if we could have a classroom where everything was documented and displayed in high picture quality? And even better, what if those students would take the initiative to use those materials and pictures to better the world they live in?
My students are a lively group of kindergarteners who are eager to work and share their experiences with the world.
We live in an incredibly global society where sharing our work and experiences has become the norm and expected. I would love to give my students the opportunity to show others what we have accomplished in a beautiful and professional manner. Additionally, it is my goal to have them create things with purpose to help better our society.
My Project
My students will be able to use this camera, with my careful supervision, to take pictures of their work for portfolios that will then be showcased at Open House. We can also use the cameras to captures beautiful scenery at school (children playing, sharing, working, etc) and use it to help create materials for the school as well as for future classes.
This project will make a tremendous difference in the lives of my students for several reasons.
I want them to take ownership of their work and to be proud of what they have accomplished. Additionally, I want them to use that ownership and that pride to create materials that others can learn from. With this camera, my hope is to create a classroom that loves to share actively, searches for projects we can create to help better our society both at large and within our small school setting.
