Blog Post #18 USING GOOGLE PHOTOS IN MY 5TH
GRADE CLASSROOM
Choosing
Google Photos today, my 5th grade students will search for pictures
that are in the wild life and also some domestic ones. This year, I will like
to try new forms to capture new activities in my 5th grade
classroom. As a math and science teacher I want to keep my classroom positive
and happy, so I thought I would attach some technology ideas into the learning
to make my students build self-character and self-esteem. I love Google
Pictures, and I would select wild life characters and their science evolution.
The students will create their own albums and share their customs and
forms of living, also choose their favorite animals that they prefer. The
students will collect pictures from the website and start working on their own
albums. To help my students to dig on the subject matter, they need to collect
pictures of their favorite wild animals, and start sharing pictures with the
rest of the class.
My 5th grade students will learn how to save their pictures
in their albums and kept them forever. At the same time Google Photos I will
capture daily events that occur during special days, and later share with the
rest of the classroom.
I also like Flicker, because my students and me will use to publish and
use images online. However, in order to use Flicker is necessary to use Yahoo
link there is no way to use other link. What happened with Google Photos is
that I can store more than a million of pictures and save it in my album
forever. Other important tool is to create a collage that I believe my students
can do it with their favorite ones. I am exited to start my science project and
look all the photos about wild life, keeping all the albums about the wild life
will be a lot of fun and share the albums of my students will be amazing.
Todays the online Google Photos will manage the world history and
maintained organize and retrieving online pictures in a form that my students
can easily acquire visualization. In the meantime existing matter base image recovery
technique apply pattern recognition, and computer data techniques will be a
bridge for my students to achieve professionally in the real world. Images
today are very handy and can express all the content about the science project
activity so lets move on. If my students wants to write a novel after retrieving
their images, they can start writing and do other homework that the Google
Photo website will be please to assist and have all powerful tools that are
necessary for anyone to handle.

ReplyDeleteThose ideas that you provide us for using Google Photos in the classroom, especially with your 5th graders, is wonderful. I like how you incorporated Flicker to make great use of the many photos and images that this website and application offers the students, so that they can conduct their research and they can use the pictures and videos that they gather to write novels and/or stories to their assignments. Also, how you are making your math and science classes that are innovative, with the use of Google Photos to motivate students to learn in these subjects. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Edna,
ReplyDeleteI think that any piece of writing that includes google photos will make it a fun project. Students will have lots of fun collecting pictures and organizing them in albums. Discussing and sharing the albums about the topic is for sure a very fun way to learn not only about technology but also about facts of their topic. Thank you for sharing
Hi Edna,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea using Google Photos for your Science class. Because they are going to looking pictures in the internet to be used to create albums, they will also to learn about how to avoid plagiarism, give credits properly, and search images with advance settings such as search images with free to use or share. I can image how your students are going to enjoy this activity. Thanks for sharing.
