We will use this digital camera to teach the students in my Digital Photography class proper photography techniques including, handling a camera, operating a camera, camera settings, rule of thirds, portraiture, landscape photography. The images taken with the camera will be uploaded to a computer so we can also explore editing the process in editing digital photos. Each of my students have individual learning needs and I strive to meet them every day. It can be difficult to get disengaged students to take ownership of their learning. It is important to offer our students as much support as possible to aid in empowering our students to contribute to the lessons. As our photography program is growing, our equipment is getting older and we are slowly trying to repair, maintain and buy new equipment. Currently students work in small groups or pairs and share cameras. However with individual needs, each student is entitled to personalize their projects and use their own materials to work at their own pace. The goal is to eventually have a camera per student in class, which will help raise student engagement. Our art program is evolving; we are trying to make it the strongest program it can be. My students are eager to learn. By offering my students access to enough materials and supplies, it helps create experiences that invests in them, as well as motivates and enables them to explore post-secondary opportunities.
