    19. WHY USE CAMERAS? People remember: 10% of what they READ 20% of what they HEAR 30% of what they SEE 70% of what they SEE and HEAR 70% kids--Visual Learners

    25. The Four Common Places Teacher: Media Specialist/CRT—I will be conducting the training. Learner: For this project, I am targeting the teachers. I am hoping that through this grant those teachers will have another available resource for technology integration.

    26. Four Common Places Continued Subject: The focus is a grant to the Foundation for Excellence to acquire two needed pieces of equipment in the building: a digital camera and an electronic document camera (ELMO). Setting: Meadowbrook Elementary computer lab. It is a resource that can be used throughout the building. Preview will be at the earliest staff meeting.

    27. Expected Outcomes Expanded use of cameras across curriculum. Projects completed in timely manner. Free to use camera for longer periods of time. More student use of cameras. Less fear of consequences of damage since second camera back-up. Camera on field trips and off-site.

    28. Evaluation Evaluation will be based on frequency of usage and by the nature of the activities that it is used for. A survey indicating the types of activities that the cameras were used for will be sent to teachers at the end of each semester. Both the ELMO and digital camera will be bar-coded. Therefore these items can be tracked as to how many times they are being checked out.

    29. Uses of Digital Camera by Staff and Students PowerPoint Presentations. Posters Student reports Science Fair projects Web Pages Field trips Classroom instruction Bulletin Boards

    30. Writing/Reading Pictures for ABC book Self-photos for “I Am poems”. Student’s “about the author” page of their stories. Student created advertisements, Process picture writing
