During our first topic this session we did a lot of activities about our emotions. One activity we did involved the use of digital photography. During a circle time we discussed different emotions and when we experience them etc. The children then took photographs of each other displaying different emotions. We had some very dramatic poses! The photographs were displayed and we scribed the children’s comments in speech bubbles. For a change we printed the photographs in black and white. An example of the comments included “I feel happy when my dad hugs me at bed time” and “I feel sad when my mum and dad go to work.” The children enjoyed this activity and it shows that ICT can be used in all curricular areas, in this case emotional, personal and social development. The children often spend time reflecting on the photographs with each other and with their parents.

What a brilliant idea! Two curricular areas in one go. I will certainly do the same! Thanks Catherine.

It’s often easy to overlook the potential of ICT in emotional, personal and social development lessons – great tip Catherine!

I love this. The speech balloons are a particularly nice touch. I’ve made a few posts on the educational potential of Flickr: http://www.technorati.com/search/Eduflickr?from=http://edcompblog.blogspot.com&sub=searchlet – would you mind if I pointed people to your blog for good educational uses photographs? I liked the shape hunt idea too. Brilliant!
