This is the website I have been looking for. Keith Lightbody deicates his entire site to explaining why and how digital photography enhances education. Lightbody says, "
Digital cameras are one of the single most successful Information and Communications Technology purchases you can make in a school. They enhance communication for students and teachers." This is a bold statement to make at the beginning of a website. The best part is Lightbody backs this up with the why. Some of the points that he makes are:
- digital encourages faster learning, more fun and greater creativity with photography
- students new to photography appreciate a learning environment where there is no 'penalty' for mistakes
- digital cameras promote visual literacy
These are just a few of the many points made to help show that adding digital photography to your curriculum really does enhance the education students are getting.
