Thing 12 - I am still brainstorming about how to use photos in a math class at the secondary level. But I can tell you how invaluable photos were in teaching writing to disabled students. I had my daughter climb a tree and took photos every minute-showing her problem solving while she was climbing. I took the 8 or 10 photos and posted them in my classroom. The students that previously stuggled with writing sentences were able to create stories using the photos. The students told me what was happening in each picture and then they wrote what was happening in each picture . Last, we connected the paragraphs and each student had formed their own stories. Instant success for students that had experienced failure in the area of writing.
