This is an assignment template that I adapted from my ED 231 course with Dr. Punchocar. I liked the idea of creatively integrating photography into the classroom. The idea of this assignment is to have students take a picture of themselves that will relate to their life story in some way. I think that this is a great way to get to know students while simultaneously engaging them in a creative, open-ended and digitally oriented activity.
This assignment meets the first standard in the NETS-T set because it will “promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness” using the internet and the prevalence of modern digital photography as technological tools (1.a.). I have also tailored this activity to my future classroom by weaving a language component into it. The students will finish the assignment by completing a brief description of their picture in Spanish.
By creating this assignment I have furthered my web development skills and learned to think about useful applications of technology that do not need to be overly complicated. I would love to use this as a starter activity for my future classes.
