Dusting off the Camera

While everyone has their digital camera out and about, I thought I would collect some ideas of ways to use the camera to support literacy learning in the classroom.
These are a few, not in order of age or ability. I wanted people to use their imagination and own experiences to think of ways to adapt these ideas for their class.

Use photos to create a story board plan

Writing recounts

Record step by step science or baking experiences, print out, laminate and use for sequencing task.

Visual language that relates to them

portfolio of children's success and learning

Photos taken by children to record their learning. Use for developing success criteria, reflection of learning or developing sli's for next person.

Children take photos of objects in the room with same phoeneme. Print and share

Use speech bubbles to extend vocab and teach langauge features

claymation to retell a story

Positional language - a photo of someone or something under the table, on a chair etc

digtial storytelling
assessment of learning with concrete materials
Photo of star of the week / day, children write positive compliments about that person on a card
take 3 random photos of things around the school, usr thinking skills to see how they could be linked, Use the bar key to create something new.
assertive role play using video footage with and without sound for class discussion.
series of photos to use with movie maker.
manager of the day takes photo outside for oral language

Can someone please add to the list. I'd love to compile a really comprehensive one for sharing with others.

Thanks
