This is an example of an activity that we can do in the classroom. It will connect any subject with digital imaging. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase... a picture tells a thousand words.Photo sharing sites are amazing. Whatever is needed can be found, and their are photos and artwork created by artists from around the globe.
Flickr is a great resource for research or for simply getting ideas, like the photo-biography on the right.
This activity meets (or could meet) several NETS standards. The most important, however, are:
1. Creativity and Innovation
- a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes
- b. create original works as a means of personal of group expression.
This could be a great introductory activity, that could be posted for curriculum/parent night. A class set, printed off poster size (or anything bigger than 8.5 x 11) would be amazing... walking down the hallway (or in the room) and learning a little about each of the children.
Obviously, historical figures would also make sense for such an activity. Children would truly be drawn to the posters and could not help but learn something from the imbedded text.
