Well I have actually mangaed to attend another I.C.T. conference during the last few days of our Christmas break. I found the workshop on Digital Cameras most engaging. I used aspects of this workshop with my classroom of Year 3 and 4 children. We used the digital cameras and a buddy to get to know the different terms required when taking a vareity of photos. The students were totally engaged with these activities. They spent their time discussing what, why and how they were taking their photos. They spend time revisiting the photos they have taken. I would like to extend the children's learning by having them revisit 'what' they have done and then take it further by introducing other types of shots then having the children create a digital shot book.

This sounds really awesome. The digital shot book will provide a great learning tool for the students by the students.
