Decorate walls and minds digitally. (Computer literature: books on the latest software programs for technology directors and IT staff).

In the hallways and cafeteria of Central Junior High School in Lawrence, Kan., snapshots of students in action, reading or recycling, are taken and sometimes plastered on walls.

The school is piloting fully integrated technology enriched classrooms and using digital cameras where they fit in the curriculum. Charlotte Anderson, who teaches English and journalism to mostly ninth graders, says she started working with computers in the 1980s and has since increased her passion for technology.

"Students get instant gratification on projects," says Anderson, who wrote an essay on digital cameras for the High Plains Regional Technology in Education Consorrimn. (It's available at www.4teachers.org.) "I

think there is more interest and more hands-on activities. I can't prove they are learning more.... I think they're learning more. They show more leadership."

For a reading incentive, digital photographs are taken of students with their favorite books and a clever saying, and then put on the cafeteria walls. Digital cameras come in handy for school newspaper stories, yearbook, arts classes, and even enhancement worksheets. For example, pictures of the Appomattox Courthouse were taken to show a setting from Ann Rinaldi's book, In My Father's House.

Anderson says that books on digital cameras will help teachers manipulate the camera and integrate use of the camera into the curriculum as well as show teachers how other educators use digital cameras.
