Activities using a digital camera

I came across a great website that outlines digital photos and digital video:

This site has a link ( http://www.edzone.net/~mwestern/pix.html ) that includes some ideas -all of which can be modified to a specific grade level & student/teacher abilities- for using digital cameras in elementary classrooms. I particularly liked the idea of students taking pictures of themselves as they act out a story they've read or that another student has written. The students then use these photos as illustrations for the story or as a means for telling what happened first, etc. I also liked the idea of students taking their own picture and affixing it to the back of their story as an "All About the Author" page.

In addition, this site also has links that include tutorials for various digital cameras and software for generating digital photography lessons and digital story telling. These tutorials might come in handy when teaching students how to use the digital camera used in the classroom.There are multiple links that can be explored to view ideas for lessons that incorporate digital cameras.
