I am incorporating this chapter with chapter 3 "Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum" in the Williamson book. Chapter 1 of this book talks about ways to incorporate digital images into the curriculum and guidelines for using these images in lessons. It also relates the ISTE standards to lessons with digital images in it.
The chapter starts out by talking about the importance of digital images. Many students are very visual learners and by using digital images the teacher is taking this in to account and helping the students understand the lesson using visual images to help them. The chapter gives suggestions for incorporating digital images into the curriculum for science, language arts, math, and social studies. It explains how these are relevant to each subject to aid the students in learning. After explaining the use in the curriculum the chapter goes on to give a framework in which to follow to help add digital images to lessons. It gives four phases which are acquire images, analyze images, create image-based works, and communicate ideas for understandings. Another useful part to this chapter is that is takes these four phases and relates them to the ISTE NETS for students so that I can understand what standards fit with each phase.
I think this chapter gives a teacher a good overview of how digital images can fit into the curriculum that is being taught. It shows that this tool is universal and can be used in any subject as a benefit to your students. I like how it lays the whole idea out and then explains how it applies in the classroom so that you can get a start from the things they say to begin to incorporate the digital images into your lessons
and then as I get more comfortable with the tool then I can come up with more creative ways to use them in my lessons and activities.
