  17. How To Teach Social Media Photography – appropriate online images Students are asked to consider how the images that they take, post and share can impact on a person’s life. They focus on a celebrity currently in the media who is being scrutinised. Students are shown a number of images and ask to comment on what each image is saying about that person. They then must develop a PPT for Middle School students that highlights rules for appropriate published photography Example of student work

  18. How To Teach Social Media Photography – Instragram your excursion In Year 7 and 8 Students attend Geography Field excursion to Bobbin Head and the Blue Mountains. As part of the activities for the day, students are now being encouraged to bring phones/cameras etc to take an image that captures the essence of that environment. Students are then asked to submit the photos and they vote to determine which image is the most successful in the task. Students are practising being critical in determining the image they select. It’s really making them think.

  24. How To Teach Social Media What’s current…. As a visual bookmarking site, self-described as a ‘virtual pinboard’, Pinterest allows users to ‘pin’, or transfer digital images to an interest ‘board’, or webpage that they make themselves and give a title to. The images are then collected together on this board and made available for others to see. Users may ‘repin’ images from other people’s boards, pin images they have found on other websites or use images of their own (their own photographs or infographics, for example). A wealth of high-quality and diverse images are available to use for Pinterest purposes. Tweeted by @DALupton , retweeted by @jwil101 on the 25/03/13
