The+Learning+Activity

 We have focused our assessment on a digital camera as our chosen ICT. It is apparent that by increasing the exposure to technology within the classroom, it will have a positive effect on children’s overall learning.



The learning activity will involve three classes, consisting of a theory, a practical and a reflection lesson. In the theory lesson, students will form groups and brainstorm their current knowledge of digital photography along with their interests which they wish to photograph. Following this, the teacher will introduce the children to new concepts of photography such as colour variation, depth, zoom, lighting and various camera shots.

This learning activity coincides with the Art Essential Learning's.

** The Arts- Essential Learning’s by the end of year 7 **

 ** Knowledge and Understanding **

 ** Media **  · Still and moving images, sounds and words are applied and modified, using genre conventions, to construct media texts.  · Media techniques and practices, including editing and publishing, are used to create media texts.

Students are asked to use digital cameras as their form of media. Still images were captured by each group, with a focus on their interests. The students generate still images which coincide with their learned techniques. The final product will be displayed in a presentation format.

In the second lesson, students will photograph their chosen subject. In the final lesson the students will reflect upon their images.
