Day 6- Using Multimedia Peripherals

I found the readings for today very useful and full of great tips. I especially liked the lessons that were given in the "1001 Uses for a Digital Camera". Even though they all were geared to a specific grade level they could easily be modified and changed to the grade level that I teach. I definitely will try some of these lessons in my classroom this year.
I also learn from the "Top 10 Tips" when taking pictures. I was familiar with many of the tips such as; getting down to their level and moving in close. Although there were tips that I had never heard of such as; know your flashes range, press the shutter button halfway down to lock the focus and using the flash outside.
The scanning tips were also very good. I didn't realize there was so many thing to take into account when you are scanning a picture. I usually just press "scan" and that is probably why my pictures don't always turn out so well. These were all very helpful ideas and tips and I intend on trying them this week as I take pictures for my projects.
