To aid your photo documentation, some tips for good photos from Shari Hill, Early Learning & Resource Consultant here at the ECCDC: keep them simple; make sure lens is clean; look at others’ collections, magazines, movie cinematography; learn a new photo technique and test it out in an ordinary, every day situation; make a neutral, uninteresting subject become interesting; commit to taking one photo per day and when you do, look in all directions; look online for photo challenges for inspiration!

It has lots of stackable filters and crop tools and works fast; great for quick photo-documentation!
Here’s the PowerPoint presentation from the evening. Our thanks to the entire Research Team from the Implementing iPads in the Early Years Pilot Project. And a Tip Sheet for programs considering using technology in their early years environments, created by Debra Harwood, Lead Researcher. Does anyone have any other tips or anecdotes we can all learn from?
