Digital Images Reflection

Telephone Box, a photo by MissLM on Flickr.

Lucky I have just had a two month tour of Europe and have ample photos to edit.  Images can be utilised in my teaching of business education and mathematics in such ways:

•        Portray situations in the ‘real’ business word so students can discuss and analyse.

•        Document projects and excursions.

•        Cartoons can be used to engage students and grab their attention.

•        Appeal to some learning styles and help answer mathematic problems in particular.

A PMI to critically analyse digital images in the classroom:

Plus

•        Increase visual literacy

•        Support critical thinking.

•        Engage thinking.

•        Influence Feelings.

•        Support Skill Development.

•        Encourages Creativity and Individuality.

•        Interact with Technology.

Minus

•        Some students do not have access to technology including cameras, computers and internet.

•        Copyright issues.

Interesting

•        I am amazed that there are so many online, free software products readily available on the internet to help edit photos and pictures however even I am sometimes uncertain of their credibility in all aspects including health such as viruses and etc.
