Images

Each day I take photos of the children in my class, playing with their friends, learning and doing art. I them attach these photos into the children's digital portfolios and into a daily power point. There is an old saying "A picture can say a thousand words." Parents looking at the pictures of their child's day can see who they play with, what interests they have and what makes them happy.

Images can help to link a child's day for their parent as most parents are away from their child for up to 6 hours a day. The children can look at the power point presentation and remember the fun they had that day and at the end of each year they are given a copy of their digital portfolio. Have you ever wondered what you were like as a child? With this form of recording a child and their family can look back at see their life from when they were a baby until they started school.

As well as still images, we also take videos of the children using the camera, it is interesting to stand back and watch them talk to their friends and interacting without adult involvement.




Finally I have posted an image. I find this great image on TeacherTube. I managed to post it but sorry did not manage to resize the image. It is all a learning curve and taking things one step at a time.
