The student yearbook committee is in it's first year. Students are working on learning how to take photographs, choose templates,manipulatethe software, and create a yearbook for the school. Students use the skills they learn in the yearbook committee class to make decisions on career choices.
Position:
Media Specialist
Needs:
We need a set of student cameras (point and shoot) and 1 SLR camera to learn about photography choices and images.

Students learn best when actively engaged. You can tell a student how to take a picture, but until they have a camera in-hand to learn on, it doesn't really connect.
