 CESAW uses multimodal learning tools to make thinking and learning visible. Let's see how teachers and students are using one of our most powerful and easy-to-use tools, the photo tool. Teachers use the photo tool to capture day-to-day classroom moments. While students are working on a science experiment, teachers can use the photo tool to capture students working their way through the scientific process. When posted to the journal, teachers can tag students in the photos to provide both students and families with a glimpse into the learning taking place in the classroom. Teachers also use the photo tool to take pictures for students to annotate. Teachers can take a photo of a page from a nonfiction book and students use the drawing tool to highlight and label the nonfiction text features in the picture. Teaching word problems with pictures is a great way to get students to visualize when solving the problem. Include your students in your math word problems by taking a picture of the students in your class and sharing the photo with students in the journal. Students then use the drawing tools to create a word problem based on the image. Students can use the microphone to explain their word problem. Don't forget, the photo tool can be used to capture organic in-class moments to share with families. If you're having a class celebration, use the photo tool to share the excitement with family members. What a fun way to build classroom community while keeping families in the loop. Now let's take a look at how students use the photo tool to deepen their learning. Students can use the photo tool to capture their learning anytime and anywhere. Here are a few examples of how you can use it in the classroom. In math, students can capture their work with manipulatives by clicking on the photo tool and taking a picture of their hands-on learning. In science, students can capture and document experiments or use the photo tool as they walk around the school or outside to capture photos that support their learning. Students can take a picture of their writing to create a portfolio that shows their progress over time. The photo tool in CSaw allows all hands-on learning to be captured. And don't forget, students can then use any other multimodal tool in CSaw like the drawing or recording tools to add a layer of reflection. All learning in class can be captured using the photo tool. The photo tool allows both teachers and students to capture day-to-day hands-on learning. Your challenge this week is to plan one time during your day to use the photo tool to capture classroom moments and learning experiences. Share the creativity you capture on Twitter using the hashtag CSawMiaMinute.
