Concept/Topic to Teach: Digital Camera/ Upload Images

Standards Addressed: ALCOS 8-Collect information from digital sources.

Specific Objectives: Ss will use a digital camera and upload photos on the school website.

Required Materials: digital cameras, computer lab (Internet Access)

Anticipatory Set: Teacher will show uploaded photos from an Alabama and Auburn football game. Teacher will tell the students that these pictures were taken and uploaded from a digital camera.

Step-by-Step Procedures for Teaching The Lesson: Divide students into groups of 4. Assign cameras. Ss are to take 15 photos of things and people around our campus. Take images of the different types of technologies we have access to on campus.

Guided Practice/ Monitoring: Students will have 15 minutes to take at least 15 photos. Ater reviewing the photos, the teacher will show the students how to upload their photos onto the website. The students may pick their favorite 5 pictures.

Closure: Review what technology is and the purpose of using cameras and uploading photos.

Assessment Based on Objectives: Ss will upload 5 photos to the website at 80% mastery.

Adaptations (for Special Needs): All special needs students will work in a small group with all regular education students. They will be allowed to use the digital cameras as well as upload photos with little help.

Extensions (for Advanced Students): Students will upload their photos and create a photo story with music.

Possible Connections to Other Subjects: This lesson could be connected to Science. Photos of how a plant grows can be taken. All the stages can be seen with pictures.

Reflection: What I learned is that all students could participate in this lesson. My special needs students has a great time because the cameras are so easy to operate. They really enjoyed being apart of this lesson. One drawback, this lesson would probably last 2-3 days. It is difficult to get all pictures uploaded in this amount of time.
