Presenting Visual Images Using the Digital Projector
I expected a positive response from students after viewing images using the digital projector. I have been quite surprised by the students' responses. They really react to the images as we are viewing them in a way that they never did with smaller images. (I attribute much of this to the fact that maybe they couldn't really see them before.) They engage in much more discourse about the images. They request images- "Are we going to look at art on the wall today?" Even while we are looking at images, they request more examples. For instance, second graders were recently looking at ancient Roman mosaics. I had planned to look at about three examples. They wanted to look at more, so we investigated deeper than I had planned, which is very okay! They were particularly interested in the idea of mosaics as floor coverings, and the abstract ones in particular.
