Teach students basic photo imaging software skills. One of the advantages of taking digital photographs is the ease with which students can manipulate images. Cropping, lightening, darkening, and special effects are all possibilities with photo imaging software. Check with your technology coordinator or the photo imaging software company to see if there is a tutorial you can have students complete. Stress the importance of the overall function of the photographs to the project itself. Manipulating images is both functional and fun but also can be very time consuming. Help students regulate their time on this task.
