Digital Cameras and Fun Activities!

There is an endless possibility of uses for digital cameras within a classroom. You could send the students around in groups on a scavenger hunt to take pictures of emergency and health items around the school, like the different exits around the building, the fire extinguisher, the nurse's office, and other places. You could also do some sequencing as far as explaining how to do things. You could send students around the building or the room to take pictures of different words or letters, like things that start with "A" or letters from their names. You could also show the weather throughout the seasons by taking pictures over time. You could also put them into groups and have them take pictures of different shapes, with one group taking pictures of circles, one of squares, one of rectangles, etc.
