Geometry Comic Book

Technology can be so much fun in a classroom. Today in class we learned how we can use digital photography in our classroom to enhance learning. I absolutely loved the comic book making software and it made the project so much fun! I can totally use this in my classroom. I am also doing a math endorsement with my Eled degree so I will be able to teach middle level mathematics. I can just think of a bunch of middle school aged boys who hates math and then would absolutely love making a comic book using math concepts. When I was taking Geometry we had to do a similar project using real life examples of geometric concepts. We just made a power point, but I think this idea of making a comic book is much more fun! It can also be used for other things such as creating stories, making a comic book on significant historical event, or even doing an adventure with science concepts. I love the idea of using a camera in the classroom. Children love to see photos of themselves and when they can see them performing a task, their sense of accomplishment is enhanced. In my Kindergarten practicum, the teacher took pictures of everything and all of the projects the children were working on and posted the pictures aroudn the room. The children loved to look at the pictures of themselves. I want to use photograhy in my class and give the children a chance to learn how to use it. One of the Kindergarten standards is that the children will learn about their environment and the world around them. One activity that could be fun is take the children outside and have them take pictures of plants and animals that they see around them. Then together the class can make a book about them, thier characteristics, and how they make life better. There are so many ways you can use photography and technology in the classroom to enhance learning and make learning much more fun!
