"Vision"

Media Art Advantages vision was started from a simple idea. What if young people had video cameras to document the world as they saw it? What stories would they tell? What could they teach us? How would the power of media arts technology affect them and their community?

Literacy and technology are at the forefront of educational agendas worldwide. As reading teachers are looking for innovative ways to get students excited about literacy, developers are making it easier to integrate new forms of technology into reading and writing curriculums. Digital Photography is one technology that can easily be used to motivate, extend, and transform literacy instruction.

Part of this challenge is bringing the child’s world to the classroom. A digital camera makes it easy to integrate personal images in text. Digital Photography can be a powerful pedagogical tool for reluctant writers. Even the most reluctant writers might enjoy the opportunity to write about an image that is important to them.
