I was very excited to learn about ways I can use digital photography in my classroom. Using digital photography is very motivating for students. It provides another way of using technology in the classroom. I loved the idea of teaching about geometric shapes through the use of photography because it helps students see that the environment all around them contains shapes. It makes learning personal to them. All of a sudden geometric shapes have purpose and are a concrete idea, rather than being an abstract subject they have to learn about.
