I have been searching and searching for anything that connects using a digital camera to specific subjects in school. I have yet to find anything that gives me proof that using a digital camera enhances let say social studies, but I feel like I am one step closer after reading this article in Education World. (http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech147.shtml)
"Smile! Digital Cameras Can Make Your Day" is the first bit of information I have come across that really gives any proof that using digital cameras helps a student enhance their learning of specific topics. The examples that are give also helps with ideas and actual hands on uses for the anti-digital world. I feel like I am on my way to finding out what I feel is true, that digital photography increases learning.

Jennifer, I really liked the multitude of examples used in the article spanning grades K - 12. I hope the classrooms have a smartboard! (to display the photos on. The plans included a lot of individualization for students to employ while the complete the tasks of "all about me" or a classroom yearbook or staff roster. There would be a great deal of "ownership" transmitted with the use of the camera and the publishing. Good source. Pam
