Join me in discovering how to incorporate photography in your classroom, at your school or in your organization to tell the story of student learning. Pedagogical documentation through photography plays an important role in my grade one classroom and in the wider school community at Mayfield Elementary. In my classroom, I use photographs to: 1) document student learning, as well as my own learning, 2) build visual literacy skills, and 3) develop verbal and written storytelling proficiency by highlighting big ideas such as characters, setting, and sequence. When students are active participants in documentation, they come to learn more about their own thinking and the added bonus is a visual story to share with families. Please bring your camera, a tablet or a smartphone (you shoot with what you have!) Together we will be building on basic documentary photography skills to help you create authentic learning stories.
