using digital cameras in your classroom

In my "other" life, I am a photographer...and on our Spring Break Cruise my camera failed me. Luckily, my three year old was snapping away with his inexpensive point and shoot and he captured (the above photo! LOVE!) some great memories from our trip.

I have used throw-away-old-school cameras with my kids on field trips, giving them scavenger hunts to photograph and capture momentos along the way. They love it, and I love seeing what they come up with!

Today's post on our collaborative blog PreK and K Sharing, I write about using cameras in the classroom and giving kids direction as they snap away. Head on over and check it out!
