Geography Lessons

I finally found a great online lesson that includes digital photography in the plans. The "Hometown Geography" lesson not only includes digital photography, but it includes internet use and using PowerPoint. The lesson was written for 9th - 12th graders, however I think that the lesson can be adjusted to fit any grade level.

This is the first lesson that I found that included the use digital photography to do more then just add pretty pictures to make the project look nice. The digital photos were used to enhance the learning.

  1. Jen, I couldn't access the site from the blog, but that got me thinking about PBS resources and here is a link from PBS Teachers when I searched "digital photography" on that site.

    There is a story telling lesson plan and some cool videos which interview a digital artist and also add real life use of digital photography in forensics and remaking a tapestry for a museum. Pam
