Digital Collection Reflection

This activity helped me to discover the numerous ways one can gather images to use in the classroom. Although I already knew images could be obtained by digital cameras and by scanning photographs, I was not aware of how to retrieve pictures from the internet, from the Big Box of Art program, or from screenshots. Two great websites to find images from the internet are Freedigitalphotos.net and Flickr.com. These websites offer images that are free and are not copywrited. Additionally, the Big Box of Art program offers a multitude of free images also. Finally, a screenshot is a way to save an image of the computer screen on a Mac computer by pressing the "Apple" button, the "Shift" key, and the number "4." I would be able to use screenshots in my future classrooms if I needed to explain step by step instructions for using technology.
