(A) The digital camera

Images are so important in teaching and learning, whatever your subject area, they can be used in so many ways including to stimulate discussion, to show steps in an activity and to capture evidence of learning. This three hour workshop is ideal for those with little or no experience of using a digital camera with learners.

This workshop will:

• explore ways in which digital images can be used in teaching and learning
• show you how to use freely available tools to edit your photographs
• show you how to capture screen shots (whole or part screen) on your computer
• show you how to reduce the file size of your images for the purpose of email, use in presentations or to upload onto a learning platform
• explain what is meant by ‘creative commons’ and show you tools that you can use to find photographs that can be used in teaching and learning.

(B) Video

This three hour workshop is ideal for practitioners with little or no experience of using video in their teaching and learning.
