the snapshots in life

Much thanks to Chris Mc., I am beginning to see the link between teaching and photography. Chris stated that “as a good photographer tries to captivate his audience with a new perspective on life, so does a teacher try to captivate his/her students by presenting material in a creative way”. I would like to add that a photograph is just a snapshot of a bigger storyline taking place. As educators we provide our students with “snapshots” of history, current events, science, etc. Don’t let these snapshots taking place in our classroom dissipate without telling the whole story. Engage your students in compelling discussions that lead to the big picture.
