Rainbow's Edge is a small village which contains most of the Nursery Rhyme
characters that you have heard about. They spend their time wandering
through the village telling their stories. But these stories are not their usual stories.
They try to answer some  unasked questions and are designed to make you THINK!!

Digital Photography
http://www.virtualteacher.com.au/film.doc
a. Demonstrate how the Camera Works (keep it simple)
b. Demonstrate how to take a photo
1. Feet apart to width of shoulders, stand firmly and still.
2. Sun behind you.
3. Frame your picture, and ask you subjects to freeze.
4. Use the automatic focus on the camera, (press the shutter button about halfway down), when focused depress the shutter all the way
5. Count to 5 before moving after you have taken the picture (stops students moving too quickly after taking the photo).
c. Then import images into your computer using the USB cable from the camera to the computer. Remember the camera will need to be switched on.
d. A dialogue box will appear on your screen – you can choose your option – copy to folder, open folder etc.
Explore these options, one of the latest options is to print images – this allows you to print full sized images of all your shots (A4 or A3) direct to your printer – it will do a fit to page or to produce a proof sheet of all the photos – great.

What can you do with photos after that:-
Turn them into a PowerPoint with captions, insert them into a word document, use them as a background image in an excel graph, use the in a movie etc.
New research shows that, contrary to popular belief, children as young as four years old show a remarkable aptitude for photography and are perfectly capable of framing a portrait shot.
