I already use photos in my classroom a lot. Being a Spanish teacher, I use photos to show what a word means in Spanish without using English. On top of that I try to create simple books for my students using the Spanish vocabulary that we've learned in the class. To make the books more interesting and engaging I use photos throughout the book. I also use photos to test how well the students know the Spanish vocabulary. I have pictures up on a smart board and have the students indicate if the Spanish word I say matches picture one, two, or three. The students hold up the number of fingers that match the picture. It is a quick and easy way for me to see how many students actually know what I'm saying. Finally I use pictures along with my smart board to create an interactive slide where the students come to the board and move the vocabulary word to the correct picture. The students really love the actual interaction with this one. There are so many uses for pictures in my classroom and I can't wait to discover even more ways!
Love the different ways you use images in your classroom. When you have the time, you will want to create a Creative Commons license for one of your own personal images, then post the link to the image in this blog post.
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the picasa link I uploaded a personal picture on there and then on the already built in feature I chose a some rights reserved copyright. I thought that's what you wanted us to do? Am I supposed to do something more?
