Language Arts:

For their prediction skills you could give the students a scrambled digital photo and have them predict what they think it may be. One step further you can have them explain their thinking and logic.
You can take pictures, post them in a power point presentation and have your students create their own story either verbally or written. This would be a great introduction to narrative writing.

I also like the idea of putting a picture up in the classroom that can have numerous interpretations and have the students write what they think the picture means to them.

Tribes is a good way to use digital imagery in the classroom when you are doing the activity called “four corners”. This activity consists of four pictures placing one in each corner of the room. After you teach a lesson you explain the pictures to your students. For example: the pictures could be a snail, a turtle, a horse and a cheetah. The snail picture indicates they don’t understand, the turtle indicated they “kind of” get it, the horse indicates they pretty much got it and the cheetah indicates they understand and are ready to move on. You ask the students to go to the picture, which best represents, their comprehension. It is a great way to do a quick assessment of where your students are at that particular time in the lesson.
