A preview of what I would have my students do.
Basically what I did was use PowerPoint to create a digital picture image of a few choice mathematical vocabulary words. Instead of having students write out the definition of vocab words - and instead of what I have done in the past (have students draw and color pictures) - I would have them use digital media tools to create their own images that relate to the definition. I have provided the definition - because some students may enjoy having the word definition as well as a picture. My students would have the choice to use Microsoft PowerPoint, Paint, Microsoft Word, PhotoStory, etc. Anything useful for the students can be used. Not only would my students be learning their vocabulary in a somewhat 'fun' atmosphere - they will also be tuning their digital media skills for other projects and assignments.
