During this time teachers worked in teams by grade level to plan how they will use image processing in a lesson or lessons during the first semester. Some possibilities include:

• Students will use image processing to measure angles as part of a geometry unit. Since our school is under renovation, taking construction pictures with the digital camera would provide interesting angles to measure.
• Use digital images as "Mystery Images" as part of morning warm ups.
• As part of a beginning unit on Geography and Mapping, students will use image processing to plan a cross-country tour with a rock band. Students will also build a tour-mobile to scale and use many image processing skills to plan the vehicle.
• Students will apply filters and color tables to alter their own digital portraits.
• Students will explore the relationship of the LUT and surface plots as they create 3-D models of their names.
• Students will learn about volcanoes as they complete several image processing lessons from the Earth Science section.
• Students will examine digital images and learn about how color images are created. They will use
