Microsoft images

6. Ways of using digital tools
 2 main ways you will use it: online or in class.
Blended approach is more practical in some
areas.
 We need to consider HOW learners use and
create images? Do the images I select for use
meet a pedagogical need? Complex teacher
choices.
 Have I considered copyright? Permissions?
Working in a safe, legal and ethical

7. Is this the only reason?
“There are multiple purposes for image use
online. Teachers can present learning
materials to the student with the purpose of
engaging thinking (knowledge,
understanding, analysis, evaluation);
influencing feelings, or supporting skills
development.”
Source:Course materialsCan you suggest some
curriculum uses for images?

8. Images-more practical hints
• Check school cameras before the lesson
• Set on the smallest photo size
• Large images will need resizing
• Websites often want images less than 100 kb
• When resizing I use Paint.net
• Software provided by EQ on their computers
• Always resize using a copy of your original
photo
• Never use your own camera

9. Images- keeping safe, legal &
ethical
1. Always ensure all students have school permissions
signed by parents to cover any images taken and used
in curriculum activities /websites- don’t take the
student’s word.
2. Take images from angles that are difficult to identify the
person eg behind, side.
3. Think about sending images of other students to
families on disks or usb.
4. Always delete images from school cameras before
returning them to storage.
5. Be aware of ‘selfies’.
6. Do not publish images of students anywhere if you think
they could be misinterpreted by someone. CYA is the
rule.

10. Curriculum images – green
screen
 Make curriculum more interesting
 Use Paint.net.au
 Students research images, dress up to be part of the scene.
 Instructions are provided.
 You need time to play with the technique.

12. Podcasting and Digital Audio
 Podcasting is a sound file that can be shared
with others. Easi-Speak Microphone
 To do this simply, record your student's
performance and upload. Example

 Download iTunes! It’s a great resource!
