I teach 6th grade Earth Science 7th grade Life Science & 8th Grade Physical Science -This year in addition to science, I will be instructing students in the use of the digital camera as well as the digital video camera. Students will be using these items to 1)make a dvd of the exploits during the school year 2)use the cameras to put together a "science yearbook" of their exploits in the science lab. Good & bad:)
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
What we need is space to explore and experiment. However digital photo labs would help in that exploration. I need to be able to give to the students cameras that work that they don't have to share with 20 other students. We need to be able to use those cameras at a moments notice for whatever we are doing in the classroom or outside of the classroom.
