Dr. Alice Christie's website has numerous amounts of information that can be used in the class room. She has been teaching for over 40 years and integrates technology into her classroom with GPS and Geocaching, Digital Photography, Podcasting, Online Researching Resources, and much more. The main topic that interest me is the Digital Photography.
Dr. Christie takes pictures of anything from vegetation and people to trains and flowers. The pictures she takes are usually in a natural environment and are beautiful just as they are. By using technology she enhances them to look abstract and bring out the colors in them. Using technology to enhance pictures could be a creative tool to use in the classroom. Teaching the children how to use a digital camera would be very effective in their lives outside of school and knowledge they would surely carry with them. Then having the children take pictures ,of their choosing, of the outside world after they have learned how to use a digital camera. Once these pictures have been taken I could have my class digitally enhance them on the computer. I think that this activity would be beneficial and a great learning experience for the children.
