Developing technology-enriched learning environments for students is one way to encourage curiosity

can do a lot more than you might realize. You will learn: essential digital camera features and options,

how to transfer photos from a digital camera to a computer, and essential photographic techniques.

Developing these technology skills will allow teachers to infuse technology into classroom learning
