• Have students make flash cards by taking photographs demonstrating new
vocabulary words or concepts. Print extra copies of the flash cards to develop
a valuable classroom resource.
• Create a visual seating chart that not only has the names of your students
but their pictures too.
• Students may use photographs to document their projects and create visual
portfolios of their work.
• Students may use photographs to illustrate writing assignments.
• Students may use digital photographs in newspapers or magazines they have
created for units taught in your class.
• Students may create a visual database of photographic images.
• Students may use digital imaging software to draw and paint on a picture
they have taken to illustrate something taught in class.
• Combining images downloaded from the Internet with photographs students
have taken is a great way to expand the use of digital images in your
curriculum. An example of this would be if a class is studying Spain, students
may download a picture of a historic site in Spain and then, using imaging
software, take a digital picture of another student and create an image that
makes it look like the student is visiting the historic site.
• Digital Scavenger Hunt ‐ students find things and photograph them.
