Steve Coxon's Web: School Pictures
After I received a digital camera in 2003, I began taking hundreds of pictures in my fourth grade classrooms from 2003-2008. At the end of each of those years, I gave all of my students a CD-ROM with the year's photos. (Sorry to my students prior to 2003: I didn't have a digital camera!) Here is a representative sample showing projects and activities in my classroom over that time period:
