Lesson Ideas
There are thousands of ways to use digital photography to enhance your
curriculum. You probably purchased the Hamilton Digital Photography
Exploration Kit because you had some of your own ideas on how to use a
digital camera with your students. This section lists some starting points
for incorporating digital imaging into your lessons. Internet sites that
have examples of lessons using digital imaging are also included.
General Ideas for All Subjects
 Digital Photography is a great way to document any classroom
activity or field trip. Encourage students to see themselves as
reporters or documentary photographers. The students’ assignment
could be to create a photographic essay that documents a classroom
activity or class field trip.
 Add captions to photos and print them to create posters.
 Use photos in multimedia presentations.
 Have students make flash cards by taking photographs
demonstrating new vocabulary words or concepts. Print extra copies
of the flash cards to develop a valuable classroom resource.
